Shuttle starting netbook alliance?

I've been on holidays so I am still catching up with news from the past couple of weeks. Digitimes reported on 23 December that Shuttle would announce an alliance for second tier notebooks makers:

"In addition to Intel platforms, the alliance will also be open to adopting platforms from AMD, VIA Technologies and ARM. Since the alliance already has partnerships with several component makers and OEMs, second-tier notebook players will be able to purchase components at costs and with quality competitive with first-tier players, the sources noted. Shuttle also plans for the alliance to offer a complete after-sales service channel."

Their goal is to increase second tier notebook manufacturers' market share to 15% for 2010. But in that news, it was stated that the alliance was to be announced by the end of December and now it's 4th Jan and I can't find any more news about it. Maybe they'll be launching at CES this week?
