I forget the exact numbers but when GPUs first came out it was something like a 100mhz GPU could process DVD(Mpeg2) video easier than a 1ghz Pentium 3 could. Now just imagine the power difference between those two devices and translate that to a device that only has an 1100mah power source.

I was not disputing that at all. I am saying in generall multipurpose devices generally do not excel in all of thier functions. Even if the horsepower was there to watch divx movies above the 10 or so frames per second that mine gets I still dont want to watch a movie on a 320x240 crappy screen. I carry a backpack with me everywhere. I always have my psp and ipod with me so for me its a nonissue.
