Impressive: Video and voice calls in your browser without a plugin in sight

Neat, but is it really that impressive? Instead of using an external plugin, the plugin is rolled into the browser. There was no reason to expect that would be difficult. The real difficulty will be getting different browsers to provide reasonably compatible implementations.

For basic video calling you don't need phono, WebRTC can do that all on its own.<p>The other stuff is impressive.

An article that talks about two companies that I like a lot so far. On the other hand - couldn't vox.io plug WebRTC in whenever it is supported and therefor make the flash requirement optional in the future?<p>Interesting - I hope it'll land in a FF beta for me.

Only a matter of time.<p><a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/getusermedia/intro" rel="nofollow">http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/getusermedia/intro</a>
