Description Mathias Schindler 2013-11-09 08:26:52 UTC 
Mobile applications are often used in scenarios with limited or shaky bandwidth. Smaller download sizes for content will directly result in pages being loaded much faster.

WebP is a file format for lossy image compression developed by Google that offers smaller file sizes compared to JPEG (various studies come to different conclusions, gmaxwell/mozilla did not come to this conclusion)

Android devices running version 4 upwards will be able to display WebP via its media framework.

Duping to bug 25611; can't do anything mobile-specific without the infrastructure, and if the infrastructure's there don't really need anything mobile-specific.
