Video can be handled by the gpu if the gpu has video player acceleration (nvidia chipsets usually do have that) and it has usually a lot of cores too (tegra 2 has 8 cores).
It's been a while since video decompression can be split into many cores... a lot of desktop players do that already (using the appropriate decoders).
Smartphones are computers with mobile network ability. I can't wait for them to evolve and give me the ability to plug it into a monitor and keyboard and do the work I currently still need my desktop for.
