Interesting times for Video on the Web

Interesting times for Video on the Web: "Robin Watts has weblog
post
about Google funding for the TheorARM project. From the
blog: 'These ARM based devices represent the single biggest class of
devices still needing work for decent Theora playback. Any efficiency
savings we can make feed back directly into being able to cope with larger
screen sizes or giving longer battery life. This is where Google's grant
comes in - by helping fund the development of TheorARM (a free optimised
ARM version of Theora), they are helping to hasten the day when video works
everywhere on the web, for everyone. That's got to be something to be
pleased about.
