Thanks for your reply.

In order not to take much of your time, just a few more questions which
require only yes/no/maybe answers :)

Does Nokia 770 hardware really support YUV colorspace?

Is it technically possible (I'm not asking whether it is planned by Nokia now)
to have some simple API for YUV colorspaces support added probably as part of
libxsp?

Is Nokia interested in getting any assistance from the community (from me
for example) in improving performance and capabilities of the software
and libraries preinstalled on the device?

I'm interested in good video support and also game development (official
support for twice lower resolution in SDL using pixel doubling, support for
portrait/landscape screen orientation modes, background music playback
utilizing DSP core, virtual keyboard for X11 applications and SDL in
particular, etc.). So I don't mind contributing some of my free time to do
some work in order to get all this real.

Thanks.
