My biggest gripe about the tablets until now are that they fail miserably at playing high quality videos. Considering that maemo 5 has bumped up specs can it handle HD video?

Thanks

I don't know about 'bumped up specs' on Maemo 5, but Cortex A8 + PowerVR SGX like on iPhone 3GS can record & playback 720p h.264 stream just fine.

h.264 at D1 should work just fine on the DSP. The have it decoding 720p on the Beagle with NEON.

Another question is do you actually NEED hd playback, considering the screen resolution. I'm not ever sure about the convenience factor, as I learned via QTE that with transparent conversion you can reduce space requirements, increase copy speed and retain maximum (visible) quality at the same time.

I think the primary use for this is for external playback. Power shouldn't be a problem too, since it most likely will be used while being tethered and close to a power plug.

Yes, I admit that makes sense as a usecase.

Here's a video of 720p Video on OMAP3 Platform

I wish we can play all those formats including divx, h.264, wmvhd, mpeg2 and mpeg 4

Silly question, but... any ideas what is the actual TV-out resolution that the RX51 is likely to be able to produce ?

If it's using RCA jacks as pictured, it would be limited to 480i, however if there is another adapter available (hdmi, component) it could be higher.
