Linux/Android working on Titan

The reason the globe slows down is because its kinetic..... not because of touchscreen lag. If you touch the globe to the right of the center (remember, our screens aren't perfectly aligned) and don't move the stylus at all (takes a second to get it right), there is no screen jumpiness like you get in WinMo with graphics and the touchscreen.

You're only partially correct, I think.

I admit I'm not familiar with all of the internal workings of HaRet, but Linux doesn't magically have support for our hardware, the code has to be taken from somewhere.
It is my belief that this was built around the drivers available for the Vogue, which would imply that they have the same limitations and problems as the originals.

I am aware of the "kinetic" nature of the globe. You misunderstood me.
If the globe smoothly ran slowly, I'd agree with you. But the frame rate slows down, not the globe- that is, you start skipping frames almost to the point that it becomes a slide show (3 frames per second maybe) until you let go of the screen. Then the framerate picks up.
That's a driver error that's been existant since HTC started using the new Qualcomm chips, and has been documented on various sites and blogs regarding the acceleration problems.
