Its a wonderfull to code in :)
(and if googles web-kit is anything to go by, Google doa great job of API libs)

This shocked me though;

“, though similar to iPhone – it can’t record video.”

Whats so hard about video?!
Seems to be a major draw back to these devices.

Any cheap-arse webcam can do 800×600 25fps video , and I’m sure the CMOS chips in them cost just a few follars these days.
Guess it must be some ram-speed issue or something :-/
But really thats going to hurt AR development if we are stuck with jerky framerates at even the basic video-input level.
