It seems everyone is having simular problems with the limited camera support as well as the lack of emulator support for camera input. I'm more on the application development side, but since this is such a serious problem I'll see if I can talk to the hardware people here. I'll see if we can get any feedbackm from the Google team as well. I'll post back here as I find out more information. Many have come to the same conclusion about the currrent state of camera support, in that it isn't sufficient for serious application development yet, which is currently my problem also. I'll do everything I can to got more information on the camera issues, without this issue resolved it will be difficult for Android to be a competitive platform.
