I so wish that there were an Open Source option for camera firmware so we could

Not Open Source, but Olympus new "Air A01" includes the ability to write apps
to drive it.
See: http://opc.olympus-imaging.com/en/tools/
it's probably more realistic to ask for a robust API than open-source
firmware; there are probably trade secrets in the firmware and in fewer
people would want to dig that deep anyway; the Olympus Air has an API,
robustivity unknown
This little camera/gizmo looks like quite a lot of fun to play with.
i think it's a step in an important direction; separating the sensor from
the viewfinder has tremendous potential; it seems like dialing in the UX on
the smartphone is going to be a big challenge; i hope it doesn't fail in the
market, or if it does, that it doesn't discourage similar ideas
