I hope this is not needless repost but I was unable to find any info regarding this.

According to PoverVR SGX (The GPU on N900) fact sheet the chip ought to support OpenCL embedded profile and they are currently developing drivers for it. Are the OpenCL drivers eventually included in Fremantle or in future releases?

Considering the potential increase of available computing power combined with ease of development for Maemo platform I would rank this as a rather high priority for heavy duty multimedia applications and, this is my personal agenda, for signal processing/mobile data analysis purposes.

Small example application:
Add a AD converter as a USB device and you'll have cheap mobile oscilloscope with data-analysis (e.g FFT) performed via OpenCL.

If/When can we except OpenCL support?
