Thanks!

I just hope Apple's engineers don't get pissed off by the press. SnappyCam is built on their hardware, which can do remarkable things.

Though we as app developers don't get access to a lot of their smarts, e.g. hardware JPEG codecs, I'm sure there's even more innovation in their work that often goes unacknowledged.

You'd think so, but they take 2-10s to recover from a photo and you ... don't. Clearly there's some room for optimization there. :)
