Maybe for a stupid PMP, but being able to browse most websites without having to scroll horizontally is what really makes the NITs. If it were actually ******ed, why do you think all the new competition is using 800x480 or better?

Yes, as I said, the OMAP2420 SoC does have a PowerVR (and a hardware video decoder), but since we're not using the built-in LCD controller, there are some hardware issues involved beyond just not having drivers. I believe Nokia has chosen not to release/port drivers because of the poor performance we will get out of 3d acceleration with a 3rd-party LCD controller. I don't particularly agree with this decision (any acceleration is better than none), but I can certainly imagine why they'd choose to go this route.
