WE need to vote again :) https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-247
I realy hope we can have USB communication in AIR and Flash Player :) I can imagine many different type of applications which can communicate with different devices connected over USB, atleast my phone (over bluetooth or cable)... It would be great if AIR and Flash player can have USB API for those things, so that we (developers) are not forced to write socket-servers and take care of installation etc..
