Kind of. I would *like* to support 2.0. It all depends on
a) getting the hardware
b) getting support, etc
c) getting documentation
d) how drastically much harder it is that 1.1
e) if 2.0 code wouldn't work with 1.1 devices.

2.0 will be supported, though, soon. And I would rather be a little ahead of
the
game than behind. Assuming, of course, that I don't have to bust a gut to do it.
