interesting quote about some devices with qualcom..

---

On the featured demo you will see the Android OS running on a reference device based on the Qualcomm MSM7200 with a 300Mhz processor.

The chipset is gaining popularity with PocketPC manufacturers - it was also in the root of the HTC user upheaval for some reportedly missing video drivers. The Android OS however benefits from the Qualcomm integrated 2D/3D accelerator in a way that the disgruntled HTC users could only wish for - it's playing a Quake demo at 30 fps.

it would be possible to ripp off the drivers from the new devices and somehow put them on htc's that lack such drivers?

Isn't android linux based?

Yes; I doubt such portability of drivers is feasible.
