I mean, Vorbis support is confirmed, but what about Theora? All the bug reports regarding shipping with Theora are being marked as duplicates for bug that is just about Vorbis being there on default.

So has Nokia changed it's views regarding Theora & submarine patents or not?
Though I must say that the appeal of Theora on Harmattan is not that great, considering it's not a codec supported by the OMAP3s hardware acceleration module. While cool from a community/FOSS perspective, I fear it will mean little in practice.
