I believe gchat would do that, google hangouts might integrate with the ios/android app as well (I have not tried this).
The excitement here is that this is a non-flash solution, so technically it will work on any device that can run Chrome, regardless of whether or not it can / wants to run Flash. So in the near future this may make it into Chrome for Android and iOS.
WebRTC is a very necessary step in removing Flash's hooks into the modern internet; after this, there will be very few reasons to support it at all anymore. And that is a very good thing for speed, compatibility, and security.
I guess I'm just confused by two points. First, the odd belief that non-flash automatically equals good. Second, that non-flash for some reason necessitated "in browser." Why?
Neither of these automatically grants any additional security. If anything, it is just tying us to fewer vendors that can do this. I guess it doesn't matter, but I can recall a time when I was able to choose which application handled certain content type. We seem to be saying we do not want that for video now.
