I wrote a flash->HTML shim for webcams. Works ok on Firefox, Webkit has a memory leak. Details: http://nicklothian.com/blog/2009/12/15/using-flash-to-shim-a...

#13I hope the irony of including a flash video on the page, to show a video example, is not lost :)

#14Awesome! While it is still a long way away this is a first step in getting HTML5 to be a real alternative as a full replacement to native apps for mobile phones. Obviously optimizations might need to be made for HTML5 to be comparable in speed to native apps, but imagine mobile applications that are mainly write once, run on most phones.
like J2ME!

#15Getting access to devices client side is definitely going to power the next wave of innoviation on the web. It will essentially remove much of the destinction between a web and native app. It will also put standards based applications on a level playing field with apps using specific API's (eg iphone apps). Well in my opinion at least :)
The big question is how long will it take for most browsers to support this kind of functionality.
