Pretty UI for OpenMoko

 I have estimated memory bandwidth in following way:

    480 (width) *
    640 (height) *
    3 (bytes per pixel, not sure) *
    25 (fps) == 23040000 bytes/s (22Mb/s)

 Actually, we could use only half of frames or so. I have some
 experiences in flash animation and I can say that removing some
 animation steps and making more valuable transformations in other
 ones looks smoothly.
 Of course, we need some CPU time for pixel blending and other
 operations. But now I can not estimate it :(
 BTW, what language TWUIK is written on? Is it Java?
