I hadn't seen this news. But I'd been thinking about it only a couple of days ago, wondering if they were going to do it, after their move towards ogg.
I'm so bored by the idea of even more epic codec battles. Apple/ Safari/iPhone/iPad in h264 versus Google/Chrome/Phones/Set Top Box/etc in ogg/vp8. Versus Microsoft and whatever they choose to do. No compatibility between browsers for HTML5. Seems like Apple are hardening their position on various things, and so are Google, Adobe, etc. Pretty boring for all of us, having to cater for all or pick sides. Great that Google Open Sourced VP8, though. A bright spot in all of this, hopefully.
