We're targeting having this finished and landed within the next 2 weeks.
First we will land the core code of webrtc.org (we're targeting landing that this week and we'll wait several days to make sure that everything is happy) and then we should be able to land getUserMedia for desktop.
We will not have the UI (asking the user if he wants to allow permission to turn on his camera, telling the user that the camera is live, etc) when we land this. We are working to get the UI added as soon as possible (I'm pushing to get the UI targeted for Firefox 16). Without the UI, we will probably not enable this by default for a release, but that should be acceptable for a demo. Please tell me if you disagree.
Chrome Canary did something similar when it first added getUserMedia (i.e. the feature was disabled by default until the UI was added.)
All the code that I'm talking about above is for desktop Firefox.
I'm hoping getUserMedia on Android will also happen in the Firefox 16 time frame, but that's still being decided.

That is what I will be pushing for! There is currently no agreed-to target date yet for adding getUserMedia support to Android, but I expect we'll have one soon.

RE: Turning on webcam remotely.
I trust adequate security will be included. Frankly, the idea that someone can turn on my computer, or smartphone camera without my permission, and knowledge from another location is far from comforting. If it can be done, someone will figure out how to do it without my permission, so no cameras are connected to my computers.
Anyone who wants a picture of my ceiling, or the inside of my shirt pocket is welcome.

Will this include audio access / passing stuff to the Audio Data API? If not, is there a schedule for this as well? I was looking around the web today for info about this and found everyone using getUserMedia is doing video-only demoes, and Chrome and Opera apparently don't implement any kind of audio access. :-(
