Yes, yes, obviously... but my point was that there is a huge hump even 
after you publish the API. There is still a long ramp-up time until that 
API becomes publicly available, garners sufficient market-share and is 
proven to have the necessary stability for production use. We're talking 
about what exists *today*, not a few months in the future. Today, iOS 
does not have real-time H.264 support.
