Will the Bionic have the TI OMAP chip?

Here is a reason why it should:

Texas Instruments on Tuesday said its OMAP chip had been certified to unlock full 1080p movies from Netflix for smartphones and tablets based on Google's Android 2.3 operating system.

TI's on-chip security feature, called M-Shield, will be able to decode 1080p high-definition movie streams originating from Netflix, said Fred Cohen, director of the OMAP user experience team at TI. A security layer unlocks the encoded video, which can then be played back on smartphones and tablets or TV sets connected through an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) port.

If people are planning to do this over 4g, Verizon will rush to implement throttling.
