this has been reported on several websites, but what does it actually mean? is there a software player for the PocketPC that i can download that will play these files? or do i need to install a codec on my PocketPC?

One of the reasons why I didn't add any comments is that I too am a bit confused about what it actually means. :roll:

Basically, On2 (formerly known as the Duck corp.) released a really cool video codec a while back that can be used to compress video to phenominal, revolutionary levels.
Now, On2 is going to offer the decompressor for this highly compressed video for users of Windows Mobile.
Let's say I took my digital camcorder to the football stadium and recorded the game. When I got home, I'd dump the data on my home computer and open it up with On2CompI or VirtualDub. I then compress it with VP6 to derease the file size by insane levels while still maintaining quality. Finally, I put the compressed video on my 64MB memory card and watch it with On2's decoder software mentioned in the article.
Cool, eh?
