But this doesn't deter me from purchasing htc products. To put it mildly, if I want to game, I will use my psp. I use it for business, calls, texts and emails. So far with xda developers I am very happy with the performance of my device.

I do absolutely no gaming at all. But everyone would benefit from theacceleration. Not only will you get better battery life, but also when you scroll around on your browser. We all know how smooth the iphone safari is when you scroll around it right? Well.. dont you wish PIE,Opera and the rest of the WM browser could do that same? I bet you would. Thats why we need the drivers to have acceleration. Also.. reading emails. Sometimes we get long emails where we have to scroll down and down to read. Well.. this would also benefit from acceleration. It would scroll very smoothly and easy on the eyes. Everything that moves very Jerky on our MSM7200 devices(in which is everything) would be fixed instantly.

It is a hardware issue. We have the hardware inside out phones. But we do not have the drivers that utilizes the hardware. DO this simple test. Uninstall your PC video drivers and let Windows load its standart video drivers. Then browse around thew web with your preffered brower and even open you email and scroll down you email .You will see a very eerily similarity to our Pro1,Pro2, touch,Mogul,tilt, etc. Just try it. Then you will completely understand why its critical to have these drivers. Another simple test you all can do is next time you head over to any Sprint or VZn store. Pick up the Treo Pro. That runs on WM 6.1. And browse the web with it and launch the camera. You will see that its 100x smoother. PIE on it is incredibly smooth! Almost make me cry when I use Pie on Treo pro because I always thought one of the problem why PIE is such a terrible browser was because its just a old browser with a old core on it. but to my amazement, it runs beetr than SAFAri on the Treo pro. Why? Simple. Treo pro utilizes the hardware acceleration. And that phone is old.
