Does anyone know what chipset the Video iPod has that allows it to replay video at 30fps? 

I was always under the impression that an iPod was not even close to the Zaurus where processor power was concerned.  So is it in software that this performance comes from or is the iPod packing more under the hood than I’m aware of?

If they have a less powerful chipset that the Zaurus and can playback mpeg-4 at 480x480 and 30fps, why can’t the Z with more horsepower produce 640x480 at 30 fps smoothly?

Here's a link to an extensive Video Ipod review and they also dissect it and discuss the internal chipset.  They packed quite a bit into such a small space.
