GPU acceleration ?

---

Does anyone know if 2.3 will include GPU acceleration for the OS (animations, scrolling, etc.) or if it is still only utilizes the GPU in specific applications (games mostly)?

I know there were some rumors about 2.3 utilizing hardware GPU acceleration, similar to the way Windows Phone 7 does.

In my opinion it would seem like that would be a big factor in having Samsung produce the Nexus S instead of another manufacturer, since the main advantage of the Hummingbird processor (in comparison to the current Qualcom processors) is the GPU.

engadget said that all the animations are the smoothest they've ever seen with no lag at all. I know in the galaxy s phones animations and scrolling is so smooth it looks fake.

so it may not be GPU acceleration for the OS, we don't know, but according to engadget it's pretty good.

I would disagree with the Galaxy S animations looking smooth, but it is hard to tell what is caused by the RTF file system causing lag.

Compared side by side the Vibrant's animations in moving around the OS (not gaming or anything like that) is not as smooth as the G2 and I would say it is more on par with the Mytouch Slide.

i guess each vibrant may be different, my dads vibrant is amazingly smooth and gets almost no lag ever.
