Video of Qt 4.4 on Neo1973: brings iPhone like graphics

Just curious how the gfx chip ended up sharing the same bus as the sd-slot? How slow would a video be on this device? Ie. Would a downcoded video be watchable since the freerunner has more available memory and cpu power available to do software decoding?

Unfortunately, not quite obviously.
For example, the memory bus bandwidth to the GPU is some 7M/s, compared 
to 60+M/s for the GTA01, and the 3D hardware will not have drivers.
