Regarding OMAP support, I wonder how they are going to do it. Can the circuitry already support the algorithms, so it would only take a firmware update to enable hardware accelerated VP8?
Maybe the VP8 support in OMAP3 will be hardware assisted only, not fully accelerated. Anyway the two codecs share some similarities after all.
