Google's justification doesn't really add up, and there's a strong chance that the decision will serve only to undermine the use of the <video> tag completely. This is not a move promoting the open web. If anything, it is quite the reverse.
As I see it, Google is doing Adobe a huge favour. This isn't about openness at all. It's all about proprietary stuff. Google is pushing WebM, which it owns. But this will result in more support for Flash, which Adobe owns.
This is major hypocrisy.
Some believe Microsoft is being coy about its slate plans. Others simply think the company is being clueless. I think the Redmondians are planting decoys, hoping they’ll provide cover for missteps.

Steve Ballmer is a reactive CEO. He hasn't led Microsoft into new markets. During his tenor so far, Microsoft ha only reacted to its competitors moves.
The only merit that this lawsuit has is with unlocking iPhones after the contract is over.
Beyond that, from Apps to exclusivity, it's all hogwash.

The greatest God-given gift is the ability to see life as it really is and to know of things yet to come. Steve Jobs is a committee of one.
