something tells me the same hardware will be back, but with the unified software stack.

as for flash videos, people here on this forum should know why flash is a pain in the *** to play. using uktube and mplayer it plays fine even on a 770, but in the browser? forget it.

so its not like the hardware cant handle it, its that the way flash work, as a plugin within the browser, makes it unable to access the hardware effectively. but then flash have always been a ineffective design. i have seen it crawl on high powered desktop computers! the day we can all dump flash for something thats native to all browsers, is the day im doing a naked happy dance!

all in all i think they are aiming for developer mindshare here. given that they recently started talking about a linux based os developed in house with legacy app support/emulation, it would be strange to use a third party os on the foleo, like they where planing.

so im guessing that the foleo isnt as much canceled as on ice.
