This is probably the negative effect of Glamo bandwidth constraints.
All of your examples have some kind of heavy graphical action. If SD
Card is being accessed at the same time it'll also make it sluggish.
Glamo has the undeserved unique ability to force the CPU to wait for it,
and it

is what we got so far. The biggest handicap by far for that chip is we
can't share the documentation.
Is there anyone we can contact, as community

Why we all from this mailing list, we don't start to send a simple and
educated email asking to release their documentation out of NDA?
I think if they saw all our email with First name / Last Name asking it,
may be they will start to think about
I guess it could even prevent car gps-navigation
because displaying the map + speed and using text2speech would
probable give some problems
There just hast to be someone in the community that can persuade them
to give him/her the docs...
Openmoko could give some employees of smedia a FreeRunner
That kind of sucks doesn't it. That there is a processor on the chip
that could do, say, scrolling independently of the main processor
and we
aren't allowed to know how to do it. I'm sure it's a great chip,

we can't drive it in interesting ways:

I think is because for now there are too many things to do, and OM has
not all the people to work on all there.
And for now the graphical acceleration is not one of the first priority.
Remember that they are only a few of persons (and a fewer with

Oh come on, it's not that bad. Also (AIUI) you can pretty much scroll
with the Glamo, only drawing

I don't think that this is necessarily the case. OM people have
lots of
fish to fry and writing a acceleration code running inside the Glamo
probably isn't *the* most important thing to be working on. Getting

Is the glamo graphics stuff the 'most important' thing that should be
done?
No, but I don't think it should be ignored. If there are a limited
number of people with the authority/ability to do this then I think
that's where their attention needs to be focused. 'Graphics stuff' might

It would be a terrible shame if, after all the 'more important work'
gets done, Glamo gets ignored because 'now its time to build new
hardware'. I think it'd be rotten, in fact.
I'd agree with that, if that happens - but that
