Oh that reminds me. what ever happened to the 3d chip included with the N800? I heard that there was a 3d Accel chip that was never used, no drivers for it... and we were waiting on Nokia to activate it and do something wonderful with it. I know I'm probably not gonna get a satisfactory answer (NDAs.... ) but I'm just throwing that out there, food for thought.

Good luck accessing the url Jon, but here ya go: http://blogs.nokia.com/blogs/thelong...11_on_the.html

As for the speed increase, what I've read says that it will occur in only certain circumstances and the reason it was withheld until now was to address the power consumption questions. Supposedly there have been corresponding efficiencies that even things out. I have definitely noticed a bit of perkiness and yet no decrease in battery life.

As for acceleration, I've also read that it's utilized BUT I cannot confirm...yet.
