    At least on paper it seems to be a good device.

    In hardware it has acceleration for the most common kind of graphic needs required by phone guis... it includes the sub-pixel LCD color dithering (so that you can also read document too). Interfaces both to Motorola and AMD devices...

    I think we will be seeing many of those chipsets around. Too bad that we will usually not know which chipset a phone ships with :(

    Thats a good damn idea! The graphics performance on my Axim is ghetto. PokeNES is almost unplayable. Legend of Zelda works okay but SMB3? Forget it, way to choppy. Even at 400MHz. It's too bad really, PocketPCs could very easily be a high-end mobile gaming platform, they just need better controls and better graphics performance.
