Specifically this driver is for the GPU core of the processor which controls the 2D and 3D applications. The kernel level code give the developers more control buy opening the code that runs the Adreno GPU. With this new utility in developers tool boxes we can hope to see new things coming out of Snapdragon based Android phones such as the Nexus One, HTC Evo and Incredible.
