Seriously though, as I know my self I've used the word "Application" but that does not mean that a few others may have privately used App.
The issue is that it wasn't generally used. Even I have inveted expressions that some of my friends now use frequently. Not in english though. But would you claim that is a word for general use? No. Especially as it a play with 2 other words, where one is just a common expression but not a real word.
Now should that be considered as a legitimated word? NO! It's not. Could still be trademarked if I wanted to. If words or expressions are trademarkable, why not this one too.
Just as Apple says, Windows is a general word too in that case. And in that case Lindows would been fully legible name for that distro.
Btw, your missing the point. iPods and other mp3 players are doomed.
Future is phones. Show me the native support on the phone side, maybe Andorids have it. Symbian is suporter of MPEG4, Apple is supporter of Mpeg4. MS claims to be a supporter of Mpeg4 (i doubt that will happen).
Yepp, unless WebM is govenred by ISO/IEC or IEEE or any other similar organization I don't want it.
Time for a competing service to sky rocket supporting standards. So far I'm all into MPEG and wont change that unless an other standard comes along. Will never make WebM content for any purpose just as little I do any WMV.
Everything i code goes into h.264, finale.
All should have similar stand, I'm not against WebM, just standardize it and I'm on the wave, but unless that happens I will resist.
Would not surprise me if this evil move from google is in cooperation with Adobe. Google promise to fight for flash, and Adobe will fight for WebM as they promised already.
Now sugar, then fat what's next.

Before it was fat that was dangerous, now it's sugar but not fat.
Why does all these forget that in correct balance it's all for the good. Unbalanced it's for the bad.

That not same as App or Apps or App Store... :P

Ever heard of development... one version may be free, the next may not.
I don't load the flash at utube at all if not h.264 is available. Most vids are available directly as h.264 without flahs.
No doubt is flash worse than webm, it' s difficult to make anything crappier than flash.
But still h.264 is the king.
err... just be patient and the world as u know it has changed.
Nope, plenty small size coders make h.264 for small money.
I have a few. So ur million dollar fees are flawed.
=
Problem is that VP8 is h.264... so while u get it correct on the low level u don't see the whole picture.
Miss the forrest because of all the trees...

Google maybe support non standard formats.
problem is those devices has zero penetration.
Only competitor to iPods I ever seen in reality play mp3 and WMA that's it.
So yeah penetration is still 0.
But plugins make itunes handle it and put it on ipods as aac
No wonder why I never got samsung players or like spotify...
MPEG4 video = h.264
MPEG4 audio = aac
well there is more in the MPEG4 standard, but just because they use Vorbis, wont make the video to not have patent problems to h.264.
and VP8 is....
Nope if that happens a proprietary format wins, forget Google giving it for free, they do that now to get momentum.
MPEG4 licenses are not huge... just use it and be happy that it's a standard. WebM is no standard.
Nope, h.264 vids on youtube opens directly no special youtube app at all. Yep I have an iPhone. But forget that when google goes WebM.
Exactly why we users should shun WebM as long as it's not governed by a third-party standardization organizations like ISO/IEC.
But hey why do that ISO/IEC already has one. ISO/IEC 14496-10. Oh it happened to be known as MPEG4-10 or just simply h.264
Nope because you as consumer chose WebM, no antitrust there
So to stop step 2 and 3 never do step 1.
Step 4 will never happen.
It's more open than webm, it's less free.
the whole h.264 patents are submarine patents for WebM, yes I exaggerate but thats how it is.
There is no issue in shipping implementations of h.264 in free systems. Just that nobody wants to pay the licenses. Though it's quite small fee.
Yepp, unless WebM is govenred by ISO/IEC or IEEE or any other similar organization I don't want it.

yes, but voted out, how is that fair or equal to the other. It isn't. And that is the problem i'm laying out.
It's an paradox in it self.
What arguments? seriously....
So why don't you? Feel that android is inakvadate....
All i heard during that era was program. Download this or that program.
Never did i hear App, but I know my self to have been using the word application.
