I can't answer that. I'm surprised myself.

Oh, and I forgot about the USB thing: Are we now certain that the N800's USB port is host-able?

Not 100% certain, but very hopeful...

I don't think so either - wrong link, maybe ? :-)

The N800 has hardware 3D acceleration in the form of a PowerVR MBX
(http://www.imgtec.com/PowerVR/Produc.../MBX/index.asp) integrated into the OMAP 2420 processor.
It has the hardware to support better graphics than any PDA but without a usable control system for games it is not very useful (for gaming).
Hopefully if a USB host function can be modded without being too bulky peripheral controllers may be able to make up for the N800s integrated controls (This is only based upon what I have read, I do not own a 770 or an N800 as they are unfortunately not available where I live :( ).

PowerVR? Wasn't that the 3D chip that powered the Sega Dreamcast? Maybe the N800 is even more powerful than the Dreamcast, once programmers can utilize the hardware acceleration... :cool:

Well, it refers to the "usb0" interface, (edit...) but that's totally irrelevant: he's referring to USB networking, which still features the N800 as a client device.

Sorry for the confusion, I'll go off to bed and stop causing trouble now.

Cheers,

Andrew
