100 FPS is very good for slow motion, watching things back in slow motion, such as playing a sport. This can really help your technique and improve your performance.

I play Badminton and i would find it very useful if somebody could record me at 100 FPS. I could then watch it back and see exactly how i moved my arm, and wrist all in slow motion.
Not sure about what cnet might be smoking -- but according to the actual manufacture (I assume they know the truth <g>):
http://www.lge.com/products/model/detail/ku990.jhtml
and
http://viewty.lgmobile.com/uk/

VGA (640x480) is only at 30FPS. QVGA (320x200) is at 120fps.

Now your use case is actually a pretty good reason. I can see you using it for that purpose.

The only point I was trying to make is if you can pump 407040 pixels at 25 fps on the n900 then "technically" you can pump 76800 pixels at about 132fps on the n900 at that same qvga (320x200) resolution. Does that make sense. I don't know if it is easy to do so, but hardware wise it should be capable.
