It would appear that DisplayLink are yet to catch up to the rest of us.

We have a beta driver available to support the upcoming release of Apple's new operating system, Snow Leopard. This release also brings improvements to existing supported versions of Mac OS X

Erm - Snow Leopard is not upcoming. It was released on August 28, 2009.
The last beta version of the DisplayLink driver was released on 19th October 2009. For those playing at home, that's ~after~ the public release date of Snow Leopard by 35 business days. That's well over a month to either remove the "upcoming" comment and save some embarrassment, or get their stuff together and release a working 64bit version.

PLEASE NOTE: This driver is not compatible with 64-bit Snow Leopard. We are currently focusing on 32 bit development, and will aim to release a 64-bit compatible driver later in the year.

We are nine days away from the end of the year. How much ~later~ in the year would they like it to be before a working (non-beta) 10.6 64bit driver is released?
I am riled up because I purchased a "Mac Compatable" monitor from
Mimo Monitors. I checked that it supported OSX, but obviously I didn't check hard enough. I don't consider "beta" drivers support, and given that our machines all currently run in 64 bit mode - we are currently without a platform to work with these monitors at all.
