    The screen cap is 600x450. Good AA, nice lighting.

    Gerard Wiener made a point of the concept phone's landscape, 16:9 screen, so I'd have thought it was decided upon.

    I'd like too see what kind of real time 3D physics this thing could do. The ARM11 should be powerful, and it has a VGP to help with the geometry load.

    More details at ECTS perhaps? It's obvious why Nokia wouldn't want to compete with XBox360/PS3/Revolution launches.

    If my memory serves me well I think the devboard at CTIA contained an MBX@~50MHz and running PVR Racer with 4xFSAA with 45-175fps low/high peaks. Any half way reasonable explanation why they didn't show anything with a higher frequency?

    NOKIA is (as most know) one of TI's biggest customers. TI is actually working on a 90nm@200MHz MBX variant and as I said again, they must have at least one interested customer for such a strong 3D core. I cannot imagine 10mm^2 just for MBX in the SoC to not be overkill for both a PDA or a mobile phone.

    Assuming NGage2 will contain a MBX isn't necessarily unsafe, yet the exaggerated enthusiasm is still there.
