SD card reading speeds

---

Hi to everyone!
So, does anyone know or at least make a guess, if the Rhodium will still require things like SD TuneUp for decent read speeds, video watching etc?

GSM arena tested the TD2 with Coreplayer. It seems like it can play Xvid videos without any dropped frames. So it looks like its better than the HD. So maybe you won't beed the SD Tuner. This is only wild guess tho.

Since TD2 shares the same CPU as TP2, I guess it will be the same.

doesnt the Touch HD also use the same CPU?

Nope, the HD uses a newer CPU because of an USA patent, something was taken out of the original CPU (the one in TD2 and TP2). So that HD can be sold in the USA. Somehow HTC got around the patent issue (or not) and now they use are using the older CPU (better) on the newer phones.

I hope I make sense. This is what I have read on the internet in many forums.

Ok, but I'm not interrested in the CPU. As I stated in the thread title, I want to know if SD reading speeds will finally be acceptable. Its a matter of proper drivers, not CPU. In other words, will we still have to install third party drivers like SD TuneUp
