The OMAP3440 is a UMPC chip (800MHz versus the OMAP3430's 600MHz), it's not intended for the power profile of the tablets, as getting to 800MHz requires a rather significant voltage bump (which means a rather significant drop in battery life).

The Cortex A8 has some fantastic SIMD (NEON) that allows 720p decoding without issue.
