[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] N770 slow/Bluetooth discovery

[From: Olli Salli]

The OMAP platform comes with a TI CMS320C55x DSP, that handles the
decoding of multimedia and some drawing too. It can be used pretty
flexibly. Also, the software will probably get optimized a lot more than
it currently is, so everything should be faster by the time the device
ships.
