From the comments of the video:
noBounds is installable SW or Firmware on N8x0, and Firmware SW on some recent Display devices.
Alternatively this functionality could be implemented in a small HW dongle to connect traditional interfaces of not upgradeable display devices.

hmm, so now we can get full screen video content thanks to 3D accelerated rendering of the movies? or is the bandwidth issue still going to put a wrench in the machinery?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot???!!

I found this very interesting and so did many others.
But why would karel be so special if he went along with the crowd??
2. Exactly how low is the power consumption? Without figures, everyone can claim amazingly low power and later say that they're just easily amazed...
3. I have a problem with fanboism. This video out feature is nice, but hardly world-shattering, and it does nothing for the video annoyances I'm experiencing with my Itablet every day.

So Open Idea.. you should have shared it with us all!
Shame on you!
Request: "I Hate You" button, please :-p
. It's also intended to be open sourced, but please be patient for the time it takes.

At the very least, the ITs all of a sudden appear to be getting video out capability. Why wouldn't you find an unexpected new IT feature exciting?
Also, I didn't buy an Itablet so that I could hook it up to a big screen; I bought it specifically not to hook it up to a big screen, because of its brilliant native screen. Of course, that was before I found out Nokia fixed it so that I could in many cases never use that brilliant screen to its full potential.
This is the same con Nokia keeps playing: Maemo has no decent HWR, but instead of developing/buying something usable, they bolt a keyboard on an "upgraded" model and claim they're veering away from the stylus-based input model.
Itablets have problems displaying video? Don't fix that! Just make them display video perfectly on an external screen. That'll shut the stupid users up.
