Absolutely right - nothing worse than being tied into expensive dev. 
tools! 

I hate to go on about Silicon Labs, but Philips apps should look at 
how Silicon labs support their USB 8051. They offer a USB library 
including source for both PC & MCU for interrupt & bulk modes. To use 
the software you need to purchase a USB dev kit (~$200). They offer 
another library but its based around Keil (excellent tool but 
expensive)

If Philips are going to really make this device take off they should 
offer a free USB stack (plus documentation!) or a low cost one which 
comes as part of a dev kit.
