Adobe developing some voice P2P Flash widgets?

Ask Mark Cuban what he thinks about peer-to-peer. He’ll answer BitTorrent (and all P2P technologies by extension) are doomed, one of the reasons is that end-users don’t understand how P2P works. Time will tell, but Adobe who now owns the Flash format doesn’t take it for grant and would rather bet on the many advantages of the sharing resources for big chunks of files.
“In pursuit of this strategy, the company has acquired Amicima, a privately held start-up founded in 2004 to ‘develop improved Internet protocols for client-server and peer-to-peer networking, and to develop new applications based on these protocols,‘” explains GigaOM. Amicina’s main product is the amiciPhone (pictured), a peer-to-peer VoIP calling and private file-sharing client supporting the Windows XP and Mac platform.
Integrating P2P technologies into Flash widgets is like multiplying the P2P power by a thousand factor. Installing widgets could be done by any blogger, and is considered as the top-notch viral leverage to spread a technology. Sharing servers’ resources in bandwidth could lead to high audio quality without lagging time. And if YouTube has made popular video Flash widgets, there will certainly a start-up willing to use a P2P Flash-based technology to become the next Skype.
