Most likely soon, just in time for the introduction of Google TV (in a couple of months or so). BTW, all YouTube videos in hi-def format will be encoded in WebM.

For those who don't know about Google TV yet:



And here's a supposed way to get a beta invite (hasn't worked for me, yet, but I'm still trying )

I really don't see the point of Google TV... it seems like it would complicate, rather than simplify, the TV watching experience. I think TV channels are on the way out as entertainment, too; connecting a cheap computer to a TV and watching internet videos and discs would work better.

Anyways, here are a couple more articles on the codec if you guys want to read more about it.
