i thought the thing was apple wanted to destroy the flash video standard by pushing html5 video tags, so people would switch to h.264 and he could charge browser comapnies or people huge licensing fees. where the other video formats have no licensing fees.... or at least thats what i remember about the whole argument back then. ....
- this is probably one of the reasons yeah.. the other one is that FLash and build apps that are at Obj-C level and they knew it was only a matter of time before Flash player would be fully GPU accelerated on mobile devices. This kills the whole concept of app store.Boz

- Only trouble with this is that Apple doesn't own much of h.264 patent pool at allabettertomorrow
