Despite Apple's attempt to hinder Adobe, the company is still out and about - this time they released a little demo software of FlashTime, which allows peer-to-peer calls on the Android platform. Built using the upcoming Air 2.5, this peer-to-peer video chat client uses your smartphone's camera to get direct visual communication going with your fellow Android fan. Android users already have other options, such as Fring, to do the same exact thing but the main point is that you can do just about anything with Flash and since it's Flash, it is easy to port around to other platforms. Adobe's Mark Doherty did mention that there are no plans to release the client just yet and that the name "FlashTime" is just a placeholder for now. If we didn't know any better, we'd say they are jabbing at Apple's FaceTime feature, flaunting that the very same Flash software that Jobs said is going to get outdated soon can handle the same features that Apple has been boasting about. Check out the FlashTime demo below:
