They say that this version brings Snow Leopard "Support for using iGlasses in iChat, Photo Booth, QuickTime Player X and Safari" as well as "Bruji apps (BookPedia, DVDPedia, etc.)", but ALL IT DOES IS DOWNGRADE ANY OF YOUR APPS THAT USE iSight TO 32-BIT !!
So, although Snow Leopard's fundamental improvement is the introduction of 64-bit processing, Ecamm Network's method of supporting Snow Leopard is to HOBBLE IT for any app that uses iGlasses !
Probably because they can't figure out how to make their app 64-bit, Ecamm Networks never warns you about (or more appropriately, "admits") this, even as their installer tries to downgrade all your iSight-using apps to 32-bit ! Their VersionTracker and MacUpdate pages never mention that their method of supporting Snow Leopard is to DEFEAT IT -- not at any time before you've made your payment (unless, of course, you figure it out yourself) !
This is nearly the worst behavior I've ever witnessed from a third-party developer, and it's definitely the most cynical. Unfortunately, the bar has been set pretty low, so "nearly the worst" behavior is what most other devs would consider "unconscionable." Either way, it's foul enough to put Ecamm Network on my "Never do business with these greedy pigs" list.
