> Why?

1. So we could have USB 2.0 master capabilities. This would allow all manner of things to be connected. As I understand it, it is problematic to connect a seperate board with the necessary components to the main board, but much easier if there was a daughter card containing the components and the processor - whereby the daughter card would plug into a socket where the processor used to be.

2. So we could do complex software defined radio or even software defined TV stuff.

3. So we could have even more fancy visuals such as more complicated rendering, millions of colours and higher screen resolutions. This might be done on the StrongArm, in the generic DSP or a mixture of both. Kinda irrelevant right now, but if we did get some kind of remote colour screen working...
