With the IOS concentration camp, Android bootloader lockdown, and Windows Phone 7 copying everything that we hated about IOS it looks like a bleak future for anyone who wants to do cool stuff with their phone beyond the simple apps you get on the common platforms. If Nokia abandons MeeGo with this deal then any hope we have of being able to get new phones with the same freedom as the N900 will be fed to the meat grinder. Looks like I will have to take great care of my N900. It's the first and last of it's kind.
The Openmoko phones were released before the N900 and they provide more freedom as the drivers are free software as well.
Actually the fast and free (LGPL licensed) browser Midori supports WebM on Youtube and both H.264 and Theora on Dailymotion. So technically you could say that it supports all three html5 video formats (WebM, H.264 and Theora).
This (my previous comment) also holds for Epiphany.
Which browsers would those be? I thought Chrome was the only one with both WebM and H.264.

Dynamically binding, you realize the magic. Statically binding, you see only the hierarchy.
