On2’s VP8 Page

[A demo or two, and some more information on a codec we’ll be hearing a lot about for awhile][link]. They’ve got some big claims on [decode speed][decode], and say that they’ve paid special attention to the ARM processor- the same processor used in the iPhone. While that’s nice, I wouldn’t hold my breath for software decoding of VP8 on iPhone.

It looks like the On2 pages haven’t been updated in quite some time, though, so this information could be outdated. I imagine Google will have it’s own tech page shortly.

Google to Open-source VP8 for HTML5 Video

[Simultaneously taking Ogg out back and putting one it’s ear][link] and making the streaming video wars much more interesting. [Gruber’s questions][grub] are my own: Will Apple or Microsoft support VP8? And will Google support it at YouTube?
