I was just wondering whether it is possible to exercise the Camera Capture
API with any of the emulators, or will it be necessary to wait until actual
hardware appears? Some of the Palm emulators for example simulate camera
functionality for their camera api.

Thanks, and congrats to MS for including this important feature.

Yes, there is a camera driver available which simulates a camera by filling
the picture with a changing gray gradient. I don't know if it's included in
any of the emulator images available however.

Thank you for this excellent news but your use of the term "available" is a
bit ambiguous (i.e. the eumulator would be most useful if it could be used).
I see no evidence of such a driver in any of the Pocket PC or Smartphone
emulators distributed with the Windows Mobile 5 SDK's. Can the driver be
downloaded from somewhere on MSDN or will it be included in future versions
of the emulators? If so, when might we expect to see it?
