You both are talking about different things under the same label which leads to namespace conflict and breaks down any hope of meaningfull discussion.

So be exact in what you mean,

FPU ("accelerate" Floating Point operations)
2D accelerated graphics (oh the nostalgy of nineteen nineties)
3D accelerated graphics (which incidentally can be used to make lot's of 2D stuff plenty faster too, did I mention that N900 has hardware accelerated GLES [OpenGL] ?)

(btw check out http://www.slideshare.net/achipa/pyq...pment-on-maemo for a nifty trick in making almost anything use [HW accelerated] OpenGL widgets)
