I think everyone else (Apple for example) will too. The question is, will enough content providers offer a VP8 alternative.

Well... we don't know for sure

Check the comments on the TI link above:

We are working at the moment on supporting VP8 across all our OMAP products and we will contact you directly with a schedule for your products based on OMAP3.

I think Google has done quite a bold move here. In one side it's a bad saddening to see everything already written in stone (Matroska, Vorbis, On8's bitstream); on the other side it's nice they're managing to get something done .

Let's see what happens patentwise, but I really doubt they didn't do they homework (unless getting every WebM user sued was part of the masterplan...)

Microsoft will support VP8 in IE9 through plug-ins; instead of natively like H.264.

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?

Not plugin, just installed codec, but still:

There is a new bug in MS Connect though, will see how it will turn out.

Maybe the VP8 support in OMAP3 will be hardware assisted only, not fully accelerated. Anyway the two codecs share some similarities after all.

I found interesting that Adobe is going to support VP8. That would mean the VP8 could potentially be found inside Flash...

So what is exactly is the advantage of VP8/WebM over HTML5 OGG?

Is it because Google wants full control over it and to perpuate the FUD that OGG maybe, might but not really has patent claims?

Some benchmarks at the least would be nice.

There's no actual -hardware- for h.264 in the OMAP3. All accelerated codecs on OMAP3 platforms employ both NEON instructions and the onboard DSP.

DSPs with a custom bit of codec software are much cheaper than manufacturing codec-specific silicon, and allow for runtime customization of the encode/decode.

Perhaps it is because VP3 is extremely lacking? In any case, Google with VP8 is no worse licensing wise (better, even) than h.264 and they're tossing a wrench in the MPEG-LA's works. And chances are Theora does have patent issues. Pretty much everything does.
