Right. :) Basically, it sounds like they're utilizing the hardware as much as possible. '...more often [than other tablets or than would seem normal]'. I.e., more gpu or more specialized use of the hardware, less general-purpose cpu. The interesting thing about Steve Jobs' final argument in his letter is that he fully recognizes the importance of this in the embedded space, and he gives that as a reason for avoiding middleware layers. But this is obviously a curious point, considering Flash has been ramping up towards GPU-based things since before the iPad was probably first planned. Anyway, one can debate all one wants about the colorful histories of Apple, Adobe, and recently tablets, etc. These folks seem focused. Good luck to them all.
