Correction... 5pm Pacific time.

Gives them 3 more hours to 'test'?

Is there a possibility they'll up the pixel count to like 640x480?
Is it possible via software, or to they have to make a ver.2 of the device itself?
Ditto "cam-corder" capability(ies) - can they do it via SW, or must it be a ver.2 of the device itself?
Finally,
... any word of any of this in the works?

The patch is out there - a 61k zip that expands to a 287k flash update to the eyemodule. It takes it to version 3.5. I upgraded my VPR very quickly and all seems well. It still only takes the 320x240 pictures and the preview screen is still in B&W.

Time to sell the VDX.

Eyemodule Updater has problems

Tried updater on two seperate Visor Prisms, and one Platinum, with three eyemodules, all of them had same problem, at the end of the updater it gives a memory error, wants you to restart. When unit restarts, it gives the same error. When you remove the module from the unit then restart, Visor is ok, but when you put the eyemodule back in, it gives the memory.c error again.

I emailed IDEO and Eyemodule (after talking with their - lets just say uninformed for now - support company they hired) asking for them to remove the updater until they resolve this issue. (this was almost exactly 5pm today PST)

I'm going to be treating myself to an Eyemodule with the last paycheck from my current job (on to greener pastures - woohoo!) next Friday... I've read many opinions, looked at many snapshots, and I've come to the conclusion that I absolutely must have one. I know the image quality is low, and that it's an expensive gadget. But I just came across an excellent review that sums up all of the information I've been able to glean online about the Eyemodule (Also enjoyable are the descriptions of those who scoff at the thing):

Next stop after the Eyemodule will be Visor Prism!

Eyemodule pictures taken in dim light tend to have speckles all over them.
The Adobe Photoshop filters "Despeckle" and "Streaks & Dust" are amazingly good at removing said speckles.

Ohhh! That explains it! I just got an em for Christmas and I was wondering why only some of my images are speckled. On the whole, that's a rather annoying "feature".

The Eyemodule would be great if you could email or FTP photos directly from a Visor in JPEG format. With all of the wired and wireless modems available, this would be a 'killer' solution.

It's you, my friend.. HAHA Heh heh. It's all you.

I remember this thread I saw his last post before, but I only read the first paragraph until you brought it up. That diatribe is classic VisorCentral material. I'd hate to walk up behind this guy and say BOO!
