Any guess as to when the <device> element (or api - Berjon vs Hixie?) will be adopted by a shipping browser so we can have this all-js microphone (and camera) access without a flash shim?

My bet is Android webkit first (ericcson closed source webkit proof of concept already exists); a timeline would be nice though.

Any implementation right now would be pretty early. The live media capture parts of HTML5 aren't fully-speced out yet.

With any luck, some browsers will form a defacto standard that solves the outstanding questions long before the HTML5 group finishes.
