...So, sure, if you tinker with your video enough it becomes watchable without dropped frames and with acceptable sound. But all that time wasted, at 10$ per hour minimum wage = enough money to buy a better device after a few months.....

Maemo doesn't have the bloody software to use the brilliant hardware. We could be in mobile graphics and video playback heaven if Nokia would pony up the dough for a driver.

The issues? The issue is that we have great hardware we can't use. That's the issue.

You seem to think that getting drivers will magically fix the video bandwidth issues. This is simply not the case.
Nokia has been looking into the PowerVR, but that facts are that the drivers suck and they've found that it wouldn't be much help.

No, I don't. Video bandwidth is has to do putting the images on the screen in front of me.
Besides, it's of no importance that it may not be practical to implement. What's of importance is that I paid for it and that I can't use it, even if I simply want to tinker and brick my damnedable tablet in the process.

...The discussion was about video playback, so based on that context it made sense to me that your comments were directed at video playback. Perhaps this was not the case.

The experience could be so much better. But, alas, politics.
