The N900 feels like a computer with a GMS chip bolted on. It feels like hom=

SSH login=2C bash/tcsh=2C all the usual tools=2C easy to root and get acces=

clocking options and if you don't might putting PA into a hissy fit then yo=

can get right at the ALSA drivers and get low latency audio.

rather than resistive screen so you don't have to hammer away like the N900=

and you get multitouch thrown in there. Pretty cool for audio although the

Google Dalvic code does tend to confuse pointer co-ordinates at a rather

surpisingly high rate.

So the going rate is that OpenSL was not intended to reduce latency=2C just=

 to

remove the effects of garbage collection when using a Java thread. Have not

tested this since=2C as you note=2C it is not really readily available.
