Its time that we all make calls to our respective carriers and complain about the lack of proper D3DM drivers on our devices.
All devices based on the MSM7500 and MSM7200 chipsets have a built-in AMD Imageon interface for 3D graphical performance, yet HTC hasn't released a single device with working drivers for this interface.
My 6700 processes video better than my Touch OR my Mogul for christ's sake! The reason for this is because both the Touch and the Mogul have no link to their internal hardware acceleration.

Check out the graphics core MSM lineup - the MSM7500 (our devices), the MSM7200 (GSM devices like the Tilt/TyTN II), and the MSM7600 (haven't seen a device with this one yet) ALL have Imageon 3D AND 2D acceleration built into them! Why don't we have drivers for it!?
Since Sprint decided not to pay HTC to support our devices for us, we have no recourse other than to bitch to them - the more of us that do it, the wider of a problem it becomes for them, and they may just fix it!
I've accepted the lag as just a limitation of the new chipset -- until I found out today that these devices have an Imageon interface with no drivers!
There is no excuse now. This needs to be fixed!
Also of note, on that PDF there's a mention of the MSM7850 - this chipset has graphical capabilities that SURPASS the Sony PSP - and is due out this year! But once again, if we keep accepting that this is the performance we're stuck with, we probably won't get drivers for that one either.
Think about it this way... right now, our CPUs are doing all of the gruntwork to produce what we see on the screen - anyone remember the days of software-accelerated graphics on the PC? Its not just 3D that's affected, EVERYTHING is!
