Working on this...I just found out that current implementation via Array.ap=
ply(null, new Uint8Array(...)) doesn't work for big buffers (bigger than 15=
0Kb) and could raise Maximum call stack size exceeded error. So I'm looking=
 on better/right way to do typed arrays conversion... will keep you updated=
.

Thx!
Sergey

I think Sergey should be able to squeeze this into his schedule. We were lo=
oking at fixing plugin support and this could be a good way to start it.=20

FYI, you can buy a no contract Nokia 520 WP8 device for $120, and developin=
g in the emulator is more than sufficient for most tasks.

Sergey, do you got this?
