have anybody looked into smartycam firmware guts?

Exactly, and perfectly understandable from AiM's perspective.
If you wanted to get serious, it would be simple enough to develop new applications code that utilizes the embedded drivers and Linux kernel. Why hack theirs when you can write it with the feature set you want?

if they are rolling out separate datalogger and it will be within $300 or so - I will buy it, if it is above $500 - then not. it is all a matter of price and required effort.
IMHO it is sad that they decided not to 'upgrade' firmware in smartycam itself, I honestly think their marketing director is a moron. you should never sacrifice on improving product functionality to 'help' sales of other redundand products, plus setup in a dedicated race car where you have stripped interior and can bolt on several devices is totally different from street car setup where I have harness bar on which smartycam sits and no palce at all to permanently mount a datalogger. I want all this stuff to be easily removable. But, what can you do.
If other manufacturers are reading those forums may be we will get something like that in the future - compact convinient 'all in one' solution. who knows.

Never used it, don't know anyone who has. Looks interesting.
