Than sorry about that. It was just a joke. And a slight reminder that nothing is as easy as it looks so one really has to think before drawing conclusion. 2D acceleration of OMAP2 chip means nothing for us since the framebuffer is external and every change needs to be transferred there before it appears on screen.
Well it is just LCD display controller, not full GPU. It is meant for displaying video and targeted for phones and for that the functionality it is pretty good. I guess they used it because they are phone company so they built first 770 from spare parts they already had and then just kept the design in N8x0. AFAIK they could not use just the display controller built to OMAP1710 due to large display and the shared memory architecture. The LCD refresh DMA (=reading 800x480x16bits 60 times per second) would eat lot of memory bus bandwidth, slowing down everything inside OMAP. As for OMAP2420 the on-chip SRAM is still too small to hold whole 800x480 so there would be same problem. There are no public docs for OMAP2 chips but the TI page

says "5-Mb internal SRAM" (b stands for bits) = 640KB, good enough for 640x480x16bits VGA mode but not good enough for 800x480 (=768KB). Hopefully with new generation tablets the external controller will be gone.
