The ATT network is fine around here, but my wife's iPhone was completely useless on vacation in Florida.

And today we see the beginning of the end for h.264.
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/the-ti...-project/34725 EVRYONE that matters is backing it as the HTML5 video standard... Apple better jump onboard or get left behind. To further kick Apple in the nuts...tomorrow will be the launch of Android 2.2 with FLASH support. Ouch. |

I'm sure they will... but how is what Google is doing any different from what Apple did? They each back something other than Flash and it's in their own interests to do so.
I'm sure Apple will support and be fine with it. Hardly an Apple nut-kick. It is what it is. Apple is still doing just fine. They almost doubled their mobile phone marketshare from this time last year, from 1.5% to 2.7%. And iPhone OS accounts for 15% of all mobile traffic, good enough for 3rd place, ahead of Android by 5%. We'll see if that holds up, especially with the release of OS 4 and the new iPhone next month. |

Regarding Android 2.2.... Where are you getting your figures? Not saying hey are wrong, but based on current SALES, Android passed Apple last month and will garner even MORE market share with the new releases. BUT the real nut-kick comes from all the tablets that can now be released based on Android. How does anyone defend the iPad when a competing tablet does everything and a whole lot more? (there may be a solid argument based on battery life... not sure yet on that) |

Apple backed a proprietary standard while eliminating support for a competitor... BIG DIFFERENCE. |

H.264 isn't proprietary.

Just the humor of it... Google could destroy them without much effort.
In reality, Apple will probably jump on the WebM bandwagon at the last minute and be fine... just because Google released WebM doesn't mean we'll see much of it soon... just like I said about h.264, it's a long way from truly replacing Flash video. |
