Never saw it before...

Good camera, right :-)

> is there anything to do?

Sony is not likely to release specs on the camera programming; Google
doesn't help here. Reverse engineering is a pain, and the resulting driver
will be fundamentally flawed because of lack of understanding. Also, the
camera is likely to use trade-secret compression algorithms, and without
them the driver will never fly [well]. This camera is small, but the cost
isn't ($100 or so). I personally wouldn't buy it.

The bottom line: want driver - bring specs (and the device :-)
