I read some time ago about the possibility to use media stream from a USB or rs232 device with the <device> tag such as a webcam with HTML5.
Is there a web browser that supports this right now? (i.e. nighty builds of Chrome, Webkit...)

HTML5 supports in all modern except IE8 and it is not allowed for styling of unknown elements. If you have HTML5shiv then it provides the compatibility for IE Browsers older than IE 9.
The getContext method is checked by accessing it on the created input object. The result of this expression is checked with an if-statement. If the result is true, it means that HTML5 is supported by the browser.
Which browsers support HTML5? All the latest versions of major browsers — including Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Internet Explorer — support many HTML5 features but not all. Currently, Chrome and Opera are the most compatible with HTML5, with Firefox and Safari following closely behind.
Now we have released our modified WebKit library so that you can test these features yourself. Note that the "device" element is no longer available in the WhatWG spec, it has been replaced with a JavaScript API (navigator.getUserMedia(...)).
