A part of a message from above link:

Finally last beta version of Lightspeed can handle our toys. It is available

So let’s test it!
This is how the program looks like:
You can specify desired speed for any particular application. For example: you
only want to slow down your e-book reader.

Other news with this version:

- Preference added whether to show intro screen.
- Preference added whether to ask the user to enable Lightspeed at boot time.
- Minor screen visual artifact when changing CPU speed on the NX60/NX70V devices
fixed.
- Improved User Interface button handling when selecting CPU clock frequency.
- PalmOne Tungsten T3 device specific logic rewritten to help improve T3 user
experience.
- Fixed interoperability issue with some applications from SplashData.
- Lightspeed developer API added which makes it possible for other developers to
change the CPU speed from inside their applications. They can set the CPU speed
high when performing lengthy processor intensive operations and set the CPU
speed low when performing less processor intensive operations which helps
improve the user experience and extend battery life.
- Several minor tweaks and fixes.

TI OMAP User Instructions:

The supported devices equipped with a TI OMAP CPU is normally clocked at either
126 MHz or 144 Mhz.

The CPU speed can be set as low as 3 Mhz to extend the battery life and as high
as 192 Mhz to improve performance and user experience.


Motorola i.MX1/i.MXL User Instructions:

The supported devices equipped with a Motorola i.MX1/i.MXL CPU are normally
clocked at 192 Mhz.

The CPU speed can be set as low as 75 Mhz ( Tapwave Zodiac ) or 50 Mhz ( all
others ) to extend the battery life and as high as 230 Mhz to improve
performance and user experience.


This is a beta version which means that there may still be some bugs and/or
interoperability issues with specific applications that we have not discovered
during the private beta testing process.

If you are experiencing problems using this beta version together with a certain
application or a certain device please inform us about your findings.

Contact information can be found at our website www.clievideo.com and you can
also send an email to support@clievideo.com.

I will prepare a short report and post it here tomorrow.
