Given all the interest in these astronomically suited webcams why don't Philips and others manufacture them for this market?

That would save a lot of people a load of hassle and the risk of ruining the webcam/not being able to sort out the right driver, and the makers would reap reward of profits on the whole bundle rather than just the webcam itself.

Anyone got contact details for Dragon's Den?
