Flash Evangelist Builds Video Chat App for Android

It’s interesting that, Apple's highly boasted, massively advertized Facetime app coming to androids with Air 2.5 build. The open source clearly winner in this case of time to market. I am pleased to know that Air does have peer-to-peer multi cast technology (which is repurposed in this case). Adobe has been hinting at big plans for P2P ever since it bought a small P2P startup called amicima in early 2007. It made some of amicima’s technology available to developers about a year ago, but restricted it to small-scale use cases like P2P video conferencing or multiplayer games based on a few Flash players directly connected to each other via P2P. Hopefully the developers’ embrace the technology to build some 4G use cases.
