Nice to see, though i only see mention of OMAP 35XX, not the 36XX (3621) that we use. Though, as a counterpoint, what we relaly have been lacking is updated video drivers, and both the 35xx and 36xx use the same GPU, so perhaps there is some hope it will be useful.

OMAP36xx: High Volume ODM 45nm (Higher clock speed, SGX double clock speed)
AM37xx and DM 37xx: Embedded low volume customers (same features as OMAP36xx)

if you look at the release. this is intended for non ODM customers and enthousiasts access to the SDK they provide to their high volume customer. this is why the OMAP 34and 36 are not mentioned. TI provides them different SDK. the important part is that this provides a stable hardware accelerated kernel with drivers to the comunity.

the OMAP 3621 is an OMAP 3630 nutered. it has the same core but the pins to support pop memory and camera interface are not conected. It is still very powerfull as it still has the DSP and SGX core inside.

I hope this helps.
Updated drivers/dsp, updated linux kernel and bluetooth stack! This should really make for some interesting progress with nookie froyo, BT support, CM7 and possibly even the honeycomb builds
