I'm also curious.  Also.. what software is involved with properly using this:

* as a camera?
* to host a streaming video server?
* to record video clips?
* to use as an instant messenger camera (is this possible?  Is there
an "msn-like" IM which can do this?

Btw, I looked at that fancy creative auto-tracking thing.. it looks
great, although I heard the motor in it is audible.  =/
