You're saying to add transition effects to a window, which probably
would not take up a whole QVGA display, at a reasonable rate of
15/frames second for a phone, will require 70mb/s of memory bandwidth?

Will the iPhone support the bluetooth harddrives? I'm guessing they'll
work nicely with a linux phone with bluetooth.

It would mean there would be much more interactive options for games
running on the phone though. Like pinball, or driving games. A golf
game where you swing the phone maybe?

Hi,
Wouldn't expansion via existing usb or BT be preferable? If a few types
of hardware that's accessable via these ports has been developed with
some sort of driver and application then further development will have a
foundation to work off of and the usefullness will be clear for
