while i dont like the idea of a atom in such a device, i am unsure about the articles need for HD. It seems the tech world is HD crazy, even on device screens that make such resolutions pointless (especially if there is no video out that can handle the HD traffic).

tho i guess the argument can be that in the future, everything will be HD resolution by default, and as such one need to be able to decode it, even if one cant make use of it. If that is the case, i say we rather lobby for a format that can handle both SD and HD in the same container, and switch between them depending on the playback. Storage is cheap these days.

But that would leave marketing and tech pundits without a job, so thats probably asking for a scolding by the blog sphere...
