Seems to me they joined forces against the apple politics. Very good news indeed!

Interesting read: http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=377
I'm curious how this will play out. Is VP8 close enough but different to H.264 to avoid patent claims?

It seems TI is working on VP8 support for OMAP3.

It's not gonna benefit N900 directly as specific device. But whole web and the way how video content can be distribute. I'm really glad that Flash going to bake this codec in. In addition to dynamic streaming they working on, that will be very powerful stuff. And at least will benefit all devices.

playing web video will not require paying royalties to a competitor

Chrome, FF and Opera already support it... MS will probably chime in since there are no royalties (let's just hope it will be in IE9).

This time, Mozilla isn't shut out like with H.264. Link:

Google, which acquired the VP8 in its acquisition earlier this year of On2 Technologies, is packaging VP8 with the open source audio codec Vorbis under the WebM project, an industry initiative launched Wednesday that's being led by Google, Mozilla, Opera and more than 40 industry partners.
From Mozilla's blog:
Quote:
3. We will include support for WebM in Firefox. You can get super-early WebM builds of Firefox 4 pre-alpha today. WebM will also be included in Google Chrome and Opera.

4. Every video on YouTube will be transcoded into WebM. They have about 1.2 million videos available today and will be working through their back catalog over time. But they have committed to supporting everything.
Leave it to Google to continue to play both sides of the "closed source" and "open source" fence. :)
