aisu, was mentioning what was done more for picklesworths mind, to let him know the roadblocks we have. I know how much you like liqbase

One thing your e71 wont have to do that n8x0/liqbase does all the time is run in a high resolution. the whole graphical stack sucks cpu from start to finish.

If we ran the devices at a lower resolution (320*240 for e71) then the entire subsystem will be able to run at fullspeed even on a much lesser CPU (its flawless in powersave mode on n810 at lower resolution) and will likely leave room for running the camera at its full resolution (i'll test this hypothesis).

There may be other optimizations done on the specific phones themselves and may access the devices directly rather than a convoluted driver model.

I really hope the next device has some of these things sorted, to me the camera is the most important technological problem to solve ( now I know how to wrangle the screen ).
