Google to open source VP8 HTML5 video!

Google to open source VP8 HTML5 video! http://newteevee.com/2010/04/12/goog...r-html5-video/ Google purchases VP8 and is planning to open source the technology. So what does this mean for the layman? It means that emerging technology called HTML5, specifically HTML5 video, can be supported by all browsers for free! Furthermore, this means that another nail is put through the heart of Adobe's Flash format, and thus may be sealing the fate of Adobe’s beloved flash video format. Ok so what does this mean to a real layman? Video support will be much more broad, no more third-party plug-in from another company to run video. Also devices such as the iPad will fully support it. Don’t fear you flash developers; Adobe will be around for quite some time, that is if they just adjust their strategy, sell their studio software, but support conversion to VP8 video format, as well as any other format that comes along.
