 I played back a random video - which happened to be

 kbyte/s)

 It 'just worked'.
 
 The GTA02 is supposed to have the SMedia 3362 Graphics Accelerator which
 according to http://www.smediatech.com/product3362.htm has built in
 video acceleration and MPEG 4 decoding capabilities.  I'm assuming this
 should allow for full VGA video playback, at least of MPEG 4 content.  I
 would like to know the full capabilities of this chip though, as MPEG
 4 capabilities is rather vague.
 
 Indeed, please mail me a GTA02, and I'll repeat the test :)

I think we'll both have to wait on FIC for that one.  Hacking up some
optimized video codecs would be fun, but I have so many other things I
want to do and so very little time to hack on the Openmoko!

I'm sure there's plenty of potential for optimisation. I would imagine you're 
close to maxing out the read speed of the card at 1536 kbps?

192Kbytes/sec - not really close.

192KB/s = 1536Kb/s
B - Bytes
b - bits

Different units, same bandwidth.

Indeed.
However, why do you think that the speed of the SD is close to 200KB/s, 
because it isn't.
