First dual processor Windows Mobile PDA?

O2 is claiming that the XDA Flame is the world's "first dual processor PDA phone," featuring a full VGA screen driven by an Nvidia GoForce graphics processor, according to information gleened from a tradeshow poster.

According to Nvidia, the GoForce 5500 handheld GPU (graphics processing unit) offers full-motion digital TV, high-fidelity surround-sound, rapid multi-shot photography, and "console-class" 3D graphics, according to the company. The chip is said to be compatible with several new network standards, including DVB-H, ISDB-T, and DMB, and with commonly used data formats such as H.264, MPEG-4, and WMV9. Additionally, it's capable of both encoding and decoding full motion video (30 frames/sec.) with NTSC resolution of 700 x 480. Nvidia also says the GoForce supports photo resolutions up to 10 megapixels and offers "rapid multi-shot" capabilities. It's not known, however, how much of this capability the Flame supports.
