By Rich Tibbettrichtr. Wednesday, March 23, 2011 10:01:32 AM
UPDATE: We have released newer experimental builds with webcam support for both Opera Desktop on Mac/Linux/Windows and Opera Mobile on Android. You can get more information and download these builds here.

Last week we wrote a blog post discussing our internal prototyping of web camera streaming in the browser. On the very same day, the proposed standard interface on which that was built changed considerably.
This week we are pleased to announce the release an updated preview build of Opera Mobile for Android enabling web developers to access and interact natively with a device's webcam via JavaScript. This build has been entirely re-based on the new standards proposal introduced last week so it's goodbye to the <device> element and a big warm hello to the getUserMedia JavaScript API.
