Actually, the Nokia would only be abkle to playback HD resolution if they use the DSP co-processor option to the OMAP3 processor series. So far, Nokia has never used a DSP to speed up video playback in their products. So I think most likely that the N900 will at max playback DVD resolution video using only the ARM part of the OMAP3 processor series.
I thought most new nokia phones had DSPs for media decoding. I remember reading about the original ngage havind a DSP for audio decoding (only accesible for first party software, which is why it was mentioned). Yep, quick google search saw a couple mentions of them, even in some e series devices.
The Triumph proved to be one of the better looking and performing pre-paid handsets we'd had the pleasure of holding in our sweaty mitts, but we had one major hangup: the name.

Ok guys, who think this tablet is going to be just as power ful as a n810. Think Again.
The n810 had a MUCH worse processor, so things like nice video, speed, and graphics were out of the question.
The OMAP3 is one of the best mobile processors, it can decode full HD without breaking a sweat.
The 3G internet, depending on the plan, can make the n900 into a phone of sorts, I guess
And just because Nokia does not do something, the beauty of Open Source is a 3rd party can.
Look at the n810, hackers added screen rotation, bluetooth stereo, OGG support, etc...
Question is, will the iPhone 2 (not 3G bullshit) kick Nokia's N900
