If you look around a bit you see also a lot of criticism. On the results of Google's tests, and the incompleteness of the reference implementation.

And of course browser support is still seriously lacking.

None the less it is still interesting. Google trying to bring a new image format into today's times - it will have to be something very special to beat the likes of JPG, PNG etc.

I wasn't really asking if somebody will implement WebP support in FPImage, I was just curious if somebody has thought of it. Thanks for the links though, I'll read those tonight.

This is a repetition of earlier arguments in favour of jpeg2000.

We'll see how it progresses. Note that I'm not really negative, it is just more that I consider it to early along (too little 3rd party support, no undisputed reference lib) to invest major time in it.

But maybe there is sb with too much time and a special interest.
