This is a fairly nice example of 720x400 being played at a respectable 4.2Mbps.
720p means that the vertical resolution is 720px, so 720x400 != 720p, it'd be more like 400p.

I think 720p and especially 1080p content would have to be really low complexity and bitrate to play back on a 600 MHz Cortex CPU/DSP… and the decoder would have to be optimised for NEON or something similar.
