Yeah, the developer has a new NDA with phillips so he can provide a source 
driver, it's only the image compression routines (from what I understand) 
that have to stay closed source. So it works without the binary, the images 
that come out are just smaller.

I only have the standard, not the pro, don't know exactly what the difference 
is.

If you want to see the picture quality you can see 
http://home.it.net.au/~mroberts/cam.html if you don't mind seeing my ugly 
mug..

Also I am at Murdoch 5 days a week, so if you want to borrow the cam for a 
play let me know.
