Which means no phone cameras, though that could conceivably work on Android some day.

If you're talking about Flash, note that at the last Google device convention they promised that soon they would have Android JavaScript access to the cameras sans Flash. I'm sure that will carry to ChromeOS and Chrome as well.

I don't think it's Flash they're using, but rather the HTML5 <device> tag. Expect that in Chrome very soon, and in IE16, probably by about 2021.

Sorry, I suppose I worded confusingly, however I was offering that as a non-Flash option. My point being that if they assume that Android will offer that soon because of Flash, it will also offer it natively.
