In fact, my understanding is that the solution you describe (individual apps, silo'd in their respective ecosystems / app-stores) is exactly the situation that people are trying to fix with EME. Of course, the solution of EME + closed source, proprietary, hardware- and OS-tied CDM is technologically and socially identical to having playback apps. But not everyone agrees. -- Duncan Bayne ph: +61 420817082 | web: http://duncan-bayne.github.com/ | skype: duncan_bayne I usually check my mail every 24 - 48 hours.
