While I do agree that the "IP concerns" may actually be blown out of proportion (after all the current state of being in a limbo, leaving the field completely to proprietary technology like Flash video, may backfire more than taking the unspecified risk of IP troubles inherent to any technology) yelling at Apple and Nokia most likely won't resolve the situation by itself. Perhaps it makes sense to discuss ways to make installation of 3rd party media components as easy as one simple click to ensure a reasonably user-friendly cross-platform media experience. A common baseline codec built into user agents would of course be a nicer solution, but from what I understand little progress has been made on that topic. So perhaps let's make progress on a nearly-just-as-good solution. Maik
