Took the word right out of my mouth.

Someone should sticky this forum btw, we're obsessing over things that are impossible.

Actually, the iPhone uses PowerVR MBX 3D hardware (presumably Apple payed up to get driver support), so that 3d acceleration is a bit more possible than you may think ;)
Of course, that's assuming the iPhone OS worked here, which is not the case, so...

Mobile OSX has some very neat things, but it's mostly smoke and mirrors ( very slick smoke and mirrors ). Think about this... if you start typing a post on a Touch/iPhone ( who would, but lets say they do ) and then go to look up a phone number or something guess what... safari has probably been purged from memory along with everything you typed. Oops

Really, brontide, I'm sure it does save the current state, just like the N800 does when it closes apps due to insufficient memory. (That's when the icon in the task navigator says zz; then when you click on it, it relaunches the app and tells it to load its state.)

It looses the state of javascript controls on my Touch. Basically unless the site designs ways to save it to the server/cookies it's at risk of being lost as soon as you flip to another page/application.

Hmmmm... That's dumb. Real dumb.

The smoke and mirrors are very good I hardly notice it.... but when I do it's very annoying.

Yes, I'm perfectly aware of the available hardware (I've posted on the subject many times). The fact is, we don't have drivers, and due to a variety of technical and economic issues, aren't likely to ever get them.

Really, though, any discussion of 3d is still besides the point, as iPhone OS is closed and designed for radically different hardware.

But the point is, the iPhone OS does have PowerVR drivers; if we could run that, it would have that; but obviously you can't.

The PowerVR drivers for the iPhone's hardware wont work with the PowerVR in the OMAP2420.
