Did you miss where I say, "And more importantly..."?
And which chips are on the roadmap to have WebM support? I don't know of any announced QCOM or NVidia devices that have WebM support. The only I've seen is Broadcoms, and its certainly not on par with the existing H264 HW accelerators.
And if Intel doesn't add WebM support, which I don't believe they have commited to doing, this could be long haul. Because desktop isn't sufficient with respect to codecs, you do need desktop chipset support with respect to acceleration. No one will be happy if they can't watch 720P video on their high end computer.
Best case scenario is that we see WebM having the level of coverage as H264 has TODAY is probably 2013.
Like I've said, there will be those of that fight against WebM and you'll fight for it. Maybe we just end up with a fragmented world.
