Quoting Alastair Rankine on Wednesday April 11, 2007:
| Gruber posted a followup (http://daringfireball.net/2007/04/ 
| wee_bit_more_on_aac) which postulates a reason why Ogg Vorbis and  
| friends are not widely deployed: the device manufacturers believe  
| that these are likely to be patent infringing.

Beyond that is the high computational cost associated with Ogg Vorbis.
Without specialised hardware specific to Ogg Vorbis, encoding and
decoding of it on portable devices results in appreciably shorter
battery life.
