> I would expect that a Nexus device can do Chromecast from browser screen, if not today then soon.
No, that's not what I meant. Pushing any data into HDMI, controlled by the app, not the screencasting.
> You mean like, taking a photo and processing it? You can do that right now.
No, I mean connecting to a scanner, scanning a document. You can't do it now. And don't tell me taking a snapshot with a built-in camera is the same thing

Sorry, I wasn't aware you could predict the future, and I thought we were talking about now.
> Sockets, it's possible now.
No, your JS app can't access the internal network, unless you expose it to the internet with TCP/IP. Sockets only let you connect to public servers. And no UDP (at least not explicitly).

I'm keeping an eye on the Jolla/ChromeOS/FireFox OS types, more than iOS as I think there will be significant changes to allow the above and more.
