SGX 530?

Overclock it's voltage (somehow).
Get true HD (1080p @30fps) running smoothly.
Get (once hardware accelarated) emulators (N64, PSX) to run fullspeed
Get graphic intensive games (eg Asphalt 5) to run on true HD output
Get 3D (2560 x 720 @24fps) running smoothly
Play Crysis

Just wondering - might this be in some way related to that infamous GUI freezing bug ?

Well look at the PalmPre games, then you see how useful it actually is ;)

SGX has nothing at all that can help with video decoding.

I hope you're right ...

I am, because I'm testing it at the moment.
It's a *really* awesome program. Hope that they will allow me to make a preview video, soon...

Go read the code, the transitions are handled by GLESv2 and Clutter.
Great, but if that is the case, then Nokia did a shitty job at them, because the run like trash. Hildon is the downfall of the N900. I would rather have no transitions and a powerful UI over some half-baked transitions and a laggy, crash-prone UI.

I wouldnt count on this happening, ever.
