WebM on the other hand is a new codec which came out AFTER. So there would be no way 1st gen snapdragon to have hardware decode, it would require software decode on M$ part..And since M$ will not give out native access, Google can't make a plugin for it either.

To not, I am not trying to defend Google or blame M$, but in this particular case, Google is not doing it on purpose...I mean they make money off youtube ads..so if they could do it they would...
"if they could do it they would"? then why didn't they give MS the APIs needed to integrate YouTube into wp7?
