Not a big deal by any means, I'm just curious. What did Nokia ever plan to do with the GPU aside from a Bounce tech demo developed by Rovio?

Zen Bound and Rollercoaster use it so I would guess it was intended for 3d games but since Maemo died....well you know the rest

Thank god it's there. I need my Angry Birds with a nice and smooth framerate. I've watched it run on an android phone without a GPU. It ain't pretty D:

I'm sure Nokia even had original intentions to MAKE MONEY off the N900

Yes, originally, but subsequent tests showed gold coins getting lodged between the phone and keyboard thus rendering the device useless; so they said "f**k it, we'll call it a tablet".

The pretty ui transitions all use the PowerVR, I imagine that a pretty UI is the main driving force, games are a secondary consideration imo.

Its a shame we don't have a pretty and polished UI.

I love maemo, but it's not a polished as I did expect.
