Hi Jeff,

I don't know if anyone has gone down this path. I hope somebody proves my statement wrong, but the amount of RAM required to be the USB host for a web cam is likely one of the limiting factors. Perhaps something very customized could stream small pieces up to the PC.

If you search for camera on the mbed site you'll see a lot of activity - most by interfacing directly to a chip, or in some cases a small camera module. You'll find some more specialized items in Cookbook - cameras.
