From TFA: "The new DivX Plus HD format, which enables the creation and playback of H.264 video in an.mkv file container with high-quality AAC audio"
So I'm guessing it's their implementation of H.264 but my guess is as good as yours...
I read in one of the many reviews for this phone (I don't know which one though, I already read so many...) that the SDK will let you access the main functionality through JavaScript but all the rendering is done by WebKit so that means that OpenGL ES 2 is off the table for the moment.
That said, they may be readying another more advanced SDK for game and graphic intensive applications, nothing sure ATM.
I think most of the power of GWT comes from the fact that you can use a Java IDE to write and refactor your code. Not to mention the fact that having all of your code base in one language (in this case Java) is a big acceptance factor in an enterprise environment.
Maybe cappuccino and sproutcore allow you to do some neat stuff pretty quickly, but when it comes to refactoring and debugging, nothing will help you more than the right tools (like eclipse). Do you know if you can use a good IDE to code sproutcore or cappuccino ?
Well, you can add GWT functionality to existing pages but I consider that as an advanced GWT technique as you have to really know how all of it works and comes together to do it correctly.
In the end I think that GWT is more suited to build something from scratch... but then again, it all depends on your needs...
as a result of cross-browser incompatibilities and other problems, it has probably also resulted in an unprecedented number of headaches for Web developers. JavaScript libraries attempt to mitigate much of these difficulties.
IMHO GWT is the closest one to that goal. If you're a Java developer give it a go, if you're not, then GWT is the perfect reason to become one:)
If GWT Java => JS compiler can take care of that automatically, it will save TONS of effort.

It can, plus it can handle internationalization, history support (back and forwards navigation) and a ton of other useful stuff.
But ultimately the killer feature is the ability to debug GWT code in your java IDE of choice.
Well, I work for a large TV company in France and the fact that Java code is easily maintainable and that it is our language of choice for server-side stuff makes GWT the ideal choice for GUIs.
We have deployed 5 large web applications built with GWT and the users are really pleased with the experience.
That said, we do control the deployment environment up to a certain point (everybody has JS enabled on its workstation and the workstations are fairly recent) and we don't mind about spiders not being able to crawl the sites.

Have you tried the second link in the summary ? http://news.cnet.com/8301-11386_3-10107675-76.html
