Flashing the VoIP Community

Following on the success of Flash Player in online video sites, news has just broken today that Adobe is looking to add VoIP capabilities to Flash Player.  Om Malik has a good summary of what has been leaked from Adobe about the progress of this new project.  Some difficult technical obstacles will need to be overcome, but if Adobe can support multiple VoIP protocols while still keeping the size of the Flash Player client small, they stand a good chance of taking a huge bite out of the VoIP market and could give rise to new uses of VoIP technology.  We will be following this project closely as the NXTbook is based on Flash and it would be very easy to add VoIP capabilities to the NXTbook system if Flash Player offered full support of VoIP technology.
