Google made it official today that it would be dropping support for H.264 video in Chromes’s HTML5 component.

Google has said that opening up the VP8 codec underneath was a cause of major speed improvements as well as widespread adoption.

If the change were to take place it would be over the next 2 months and would be detailed in advance in the hopes that sites would voluntarily switch from HTML5 video to WebM. As of More >

Research In Motion (RIM) is currently trying to build some early pre-release hype for its PlayBook tablet, which won’t be out until Spring. This isn’t stopping the maker of the BlackBerry from throwing down though. They produced a new video in which they say shows the PlayBook beating the iPad at web browsing. There isn’t any way to know if the video is rigged and it is worth noting that it isn’t entirely fair to compare a 2011 PlayBook to an iPad which was release in 2010. It does show that RIM is trying to compete in the tablet market, in which Apple has a big head-start on.

Apple recently took a step back in hopes of quieting down the masses who claim that Apple’s harsh restrictions for developers are “anti-competitive.” In a nutshell, Apple said that it will allow for scenarios in which Adobe’s Flash video software will work on Apple’s products.

In particular, we are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. More >
