I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself on this site:
The Snapdragon platform does have a GPU (Imageon Z430), and it's more powerful than the SGX530 in the OMAP3 platform, and only slightly less powerful than the SGX535+ in the iPhone 3GS, it has full OpenGL ES 2.0 support, and all the other important stuff.

Just an example of it's power, Soutend developed a game specifically for the Snapdragon platform, Electopia:

Now, a bit more on-topic:
I want Flash to die as quickly as possible, but it's good to see that they're at least trying to improve it.]]>Nov 17th 2009 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/adobe-flash-player-10-1-beta-is-out-multi-touch-and-video-accel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/adobe-flash-player-10-1-beta-is-out-multi-touch-and-video-accel/Nov 17th 2009 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/adobe-flash-player-10-1-beta-is-out-multi-touch-and-video-accel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/adobe-flash-player-10-1-beta-is-out-multi-touch-and-video-accel/

It's a media protocol, so it can be implemented on any software platform. although silverlight's the only one that supports that at the moment.

there's even a free (creative commons license) server that can be installed on non-IIS web servers, eg Apache. http://smoothstreaming.code-shop.com/

Perhaps owners of such cards (including myself) can ask Nvidia nicely for new drivers..?

It allowed my weak CULV processor laptop with intel GMA graphics to play the 1080p video of the dog flawlessly! Before it was literally a slideshow.

I'l summarize
ATI Radeon 4000 series
ATI Radeon 3000 series
ATI FirePro (selected models)

Intel series 4 chipset likely they mean the GMA 4xxx line.

Broadcom Crystal HD decoder is also supported.

ION-powered netbooks will get hardware accelerations.

...64bit processors/OS have been available for years now. A company of the size of Adobe really should be capable of offering a 64bit version of one of their most popular products after all that time.

And "upped their game" by implementing something that SHOULD have been there 5 years ago? You gotta be kidding.]]>Nov 17th 2009 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/adobe-flash-player-10-1-beta-is-out-multi-touch-and-video-accel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/adobe-flash-player-10-1-beta-is-out-multi-touch-and-video-accel/
Chrome 64-bit is only available for Linux
Firefox 64 bit is more of a side project, not a major release from Mozilla. Apparently they may be plans to have a major release of a 64-bit version when 4.0 comes out.
Safari is only 64 bit in Snow Leopard
Internet Explorer is the only major release 64 bit browser for Windows, that I know of.
