[maemo-developers] En: Re: [maemo-developers] N770 slow/Bluetooth discovery

[From: Daniel Monteiro]

 I guess there are lots of cons against Series 60
devicecs and they still able to playback a movie.
this  would compensate the low res. my bet is that it
will have the same speed.remember: Series 60 SDK have
very limited (if any) DSP direct access.the 770 will
have more access to them.
 
but,for now, lets consider your thesis:
770 doesnt have speed to play it fullscreen in high
res. Well ,remember the screen is small (but have a
great pixel density). We can always fool the viewer
player with clever lower res in fullscreen =-P
