I think whether Nokia is going to support ogg or not is somewhat
besides the point. What should be supported is:
- Addition of support for new codecs to the system
(works, but the repository situation could be better)
- All applications immediately able to use the new codecs
- User opening a file (in browser or filemanager) encoded with the new
codec should automatically open it in the correct player
- Documenting how to achieve this
This way Nokia doesn't need to be a bottleneck in getting new codecs
for the users; community, commercial companies etc could then do it.
- Eero
