playing media != IPTV
I know of the glamo chip. It will do little to help decode IPTV-style 
compression realtime AFAIK. 
As mentioned in this thread before, you have to transcode offline prior to 
playing it on NEO. Glamo might help to avoid prerotating, but still you have 
to decode/transcode.

The GTAv2 will have a 3D-acceleration chip. :)
There are already videos on youtube of the old GTAv1 playing media, so it
shouldn't be a problem to do it on the v2

Just one question, will it be able to watch movies on it?



You can play them on the GTA01 even, if you're willing to transcode the
movie to a reasonably low bitrate (while also prerotating it) before
watching. For suggested mencoder parameters that I found to provide
quite adequate results for a small screen, see
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Video_Player

The Freerunner will have accelerated rotation and scaling at least,
probably also motion compensation for some formats (or at least I heard
about Xvmc work being done at some point on the IRC channel, I believe).
Subject to driver development I have the impression that the Glamo chip
is able to further accelerate mpeg4 playback, however, what with the
beefed up CPU and the hw scaling and rotation one should already be able
to play more video files "out of the box" without crappifying them
beforehand as is mostly necessary for the GTA01. (Note that when
decoding with the CPU versus a dedicated chip, the battery will
generally deplete faster even if the CPU is up to the job, though.)

So, umm, yeah; don't expect too much, but at the very least we have
decent quality pre-transcoded QVGA video playing _now_ on the GTA01's,
so things aren't looking bad from where I'm standing.

Probably. The neo is roughly about as powered as a zaurus, and I've
run mplayer on a zaurus before without too much degradation.

This thing is too tiny to have a coaxial connection, and the
processing power is probably too weak. This is a phone, not an
everything, keep on target please.



Well I guess there are a lot of cable modems with WLAN.
NEO is no phone, but only a something like a 300MHz/128MB computer. You won't 
find any in this class to do tricks like IPTV :-D (at least w/o a graphics 
video accelerator card, or other dedicated video hardware)

If you'd searched for news articles on Openmoko or the wiki, you would
know that GTA02 has a GSM chip for your 'phonenet' and an atheros wifi
chip for internet (or you can get internet via GPRS). As for cable.. I
doubt it. This thing is too tiny to have a coaxial connection, and the
processing power is probably too weak. This is a phone, not an
everything, keep on target please.
