Apparently:

Supported in version 3 firmware and above.

1280x960 pixels @ still
480x272 pixels @ 30fps video

Ummm. Is that a mini usb plug i see.. wounder if you could plug it into a pc as well with a hacked inf and the right drivers.

Or does this mean that home brew firmwares are going to appear to use any fixed make model of webcam?

From what I've seen the picture/video quality is good, but this thing is way over priced for what it does.. here's why:
1. For the same price you can get a higher megapixel stand alone digital camera.
2. Pro Duo memory is expensive, once again you're better off with a stand alone cam.

If someone invents software that lets cam owners make video calls to each other it might be a fun toy worth it's price.
