    As soon as the video demands increase, or as soon as the power of these devices rise, Nancy will be obsolete.
    That's true. But isn't that what happens with all technology?
    You can't blame 8086 because was powerless compared to a Cray.
    Each device has his marked and Nancy/Cell phones can get one. People is going to use cell phones video conference and then, not now, is going to need improved displays and high-quality video.
    Nancy is not just a stop-gap solution, Nancy is a good solution to cell phone video if is as good as Koichi Kato said.
