For the smooth transition effects you are describing, what part of the OpenMoko framework would have to be changed for this to work?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/23/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">adrian cockcroft

While the initial phone doesn't have the power for OpenGL, the next<br>generation mobile CPUs do have graphics accelerators and OpenGL<br>support. I think this is a very good direction to take, as a follow-on<br>project, but not for the initial development.
