Imagine peer to peer games, video chat without a intermediate server, etc.  I hope to get a demo app out once I learn a little bit about it more.

Among the 30 or so projects that were presented after the Hackathon, my VideoCloud won best use of video.  There were some very cool projects presented and I highly suggest visiting the FlashCamp site to check it out.

Thanks Adobe for hosting such a great event!
