There was a quiet demo of the current NoBounds implementation (they've changed the name) at the 2009 Summit. I got to see more of the actual technology being used to do the NoBounds "trick". It failed to impress me.

I wish I could remember the new name for the technology.
I guess that I wasn't impressed because the demo hardware was big, bulky, and expensive and I wondered why you'd buy a big box to stream output from another device when you can buy a micro ATX, atom-based PC that's about the same size for nearly the same price. I had a hard time envisioning use cases for the system.

I believe qole is simply questioning at what receiver size and price point does trying to offload processing from an underpowered handheld device using clever tricks stop making sense. There's some line that once crossed, makes it more logical to just buy an inexpensive, ultra small PC and run a VNC client on the handheld.

Ah, the receiver...Clear. Riddle me this...where does DLNA fall in the context of this discussion. If I had (which I don't, but I can dream) one of the fancy new Samsung ridiculously thin televisions which support DLNA over wi-fi out of the box, would that meet the decoding/processing requirements? Can the n900 act as a DLNA server, or only as a client?

I got some details from another forum member in a PM:
guy behind noBounds is called: Bernd Steinke
his maemo.org account is: http://maemo.org/profile/view/steinke/
he lists 2 projects on his profile, noBounds and LiquidHD
nobounds you know about, liquidhd might be what you are thinking of..
LiquidHD
liquidpixel remote user interface

(Back to topic...)
It seems that the TI guy is MiA, or at least, doesn't answer to emails.
So now you know that trying to make 3D drivers for the N810 CAN and WILL kill you! Kids, don't try this at home!
