IIRC, even 2yrs ago 480i composite-out was nothing special.
Were you guys oblivious to what competitors were doing?
Don't you think it's counter-intuitive to devise a phone that does 720p recording*, but can't do 720p-out?
I think asking such questions from a _software_ architect is just rude. Do you think the software people are responsible for the hardware design?

BTW OMAP3 isn't actually designed for the use case you desire. Making it work would likely involve extra hardware and some interesting software gymnastics, and even then the result would probably be less than stellar.
