very surprised at how the Movial demo posted by tso appears to run.
Its ok displaying on the large screen, I don't expect turbo performance.

However the fierce internet experience was more timid than anything and had me laughing (kinda like when a kitten tries to roar)
I got a kick out of that . . . fierce description too.

The potential of the OMAP to support video out has been around for a while. So far, the video out from existing high end Nseries has been at the same 480x320 of the device display. A 42" display is for show, but probably the same res you would want for a 19 or 22 inch monitor.

Good software and UI is essential, but video out is important to enabling the next generation of MIDs to compete against netbooks and laptops. The 3D stuff is impressive - makes you realize how far tech has come in just 5 years. But it doesn't do anything for me in terms of a product differentiator- I'll take functionality over eye candy every time.
