Alan:
Hmmm. I take it from the tenor of your response that your input would be
for others on this mailing list (linux-usb) to NOT comply with Jeroen's
request?
I agree that Philips' cams at the moment aren't all that special, especially
relative to other cameras that are already supported by linux-usb. However,
what if Philips leap frogs everyone else in the next generation of cameras?
I think it would be nice to be able to write a driver quickly.
I understand the concept of rewarding vendors who have supported Linux all
along and I'm appreciative, but does that really outweigh the importance of
making Linux hardware support as complete as possible?
