Re: [Pyobjc-dev] Using delegates on iOS

[<end...@gm...>]

 Hi.
    I'd like to inform you that I found what the problem was. Basically it
had to do with the fact I didn't start properly the camera viewfinder.
    Let me know if you are interested in more details.

    I will post a working port of my iCam project written in PyObjC, relying
on this module, at http://mobile-revival.110mb.com/ReVival/ (alias
http://go.to/slog) in the following days.
iCam is a cross platform video surveillance application using camera phones
that I worked on for more than 1 year.
    The project transforms a mobile phone in a surveillance camera with
motion detection.
    One can also create a network of such devices connected via Bluetooth or
WiFi, where the master phone transmits via 3G/GSM. The photo/video
information can be uploaded on YouTube, Picasa, etc.
    The phone application can be controlled remotely via Internet.
    This project is deployed and in use for almost 1 year.
  Best regards.
