Google is essentially comparing WebP to JPEG right now like you would compare PDF to plain-text. They have a proof of concept ("look, the text appears on the screen!") that has a smaller file size but lacks any actual features. My concern is that once they implement all the features required of a mature image format (alpha, color modes, etc), size will be on par with another existing format.
