Steve Jobs Weighs in on Google’s VP8 Codec | Mac|Life

It seems it's apparent that Apple's playing a wait and see.
A few issues that need attention (that Google fanbois and Apple haters seem to ignore):
1. Quality. I've read that the quality of VP8's video isn't as good as H.264.
2. Patents. Google claims they have done their due diligence, but that's no guarantee. Indemnification could address this.
3. Performance. If decoding VP8 bleeds your battery dry, that may be enough for Android users since they're used to that (Android's multitasking), however, it would ruin the user experience.
