While the high-end version is not shipping in any Windows Mobile devices at this point, the demonstration I saw was quite impressive....I was unable to find the model number of the GPU running the demo below, but I suspect it was the Imageon 2298, announced last month. The hope here, of course, is that technology like this will make it into Windows Mobile smartphones so we can have gaming experiences this fluid and impressive - check out the video for more."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/paul-20070329-ati-and-imageon.jpg" /><br /><br />While covering CTIA 2007, Jason shot some video of AMD's Imageon chip producing a very smooth 30fps.

It's good and about time that faster video is coming to the PPC. I know there have been other devices with GPU's... But they've tend to be power hogs. Hopefully there have been some lessons learned.

I sure hope so. I have a Zune and battery life with video is not very impressive.
