- dchest 15y agoHow hard it can be to tick a few checkboxes?
- dochtman 15y agoWhy in the world is this restricted? I live in the Netherlands, and I really don't get what's so hard about releasing here. Sure, we're a small market, so not as important, but still... Software is global, man!

- nextparadigms 15y agoWhy are they even bothering with h.264 anymore? Didn't they want to remove it from Chrome since like version 10? It's about time they start to aggressively push for WebM, if it's ready.
- fpgeek 15y agoIt would be odd, at the very least, if the problem was H.264 licensing. "All" Android devices (dating back to the G1, I believe) ship with H.264. That doesn't mean there isn't some other licensing (or other legal) sticking point, though.
