After reading jk's excellent review, a fear of mine was brought up:
that N770 could be slow for multimedia purposes, specially video
playing. I had the impression an 200Mhz ARM CPU isn't quite capable of
decoding and displaying video at full-screen at such a high resolution
by itself. Will N770 come with some dedicated video
accelerator/decoder? If so, what about the drivers for te X-server?

I also read that N770's bluetooth will not broadcast it's address for
seurity reasons. As noted in the review, this might make it impossible
to write drivers for existing bluetooth devices. One of my hopes was
to get drivers for the ThinkOutside BT keyboard working in N770
(though I'd probably have to wait for the real hardware to be
released), but this scared me. Is this restriction set up in
ROM/firmware (so it could be overrun) or is it some limitation of the
BT chipset itself?
