I'm just curious, because those demos are clearly not good enough, not by a long shot. This is not my opinion, this is a fact, because it is obvious that something bogs down allowing the HW to be used only to a fraction of its potential.
I was a bit impressed to see that video. I also was rotating the same tea spot with higher resolution screen and with smoother graphics update, and it is fun to see this now in N900.

But yes, I also wonder why it doesn't run smoother with the dedicated GPU, small screen and CPU this fast.
