Lurking her more than a while, I strangely not seen this HW request.
A reasonably general digital signal processor on the phone.
Opening possibility's for all kind of things. accelerated decoders/encoders
for audio and video, voice recognition and fingerprint, 2D graphic
acceleration, 3D graphic acceleration, accelerated image (think gimp filters)
or just any advanced operation... or just making up for missing FPU.
