This is when I'm especially thankful for open source licenses. The OpenNI2 repository on github currently has 148 forks:

https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI2

I've been using OpenNI2 with ROS and an ASUS Xtion Pro Live for object detection and avoidance. What I think the community is missing is missing right now isn't really on the software side, but is good, cheap, hardware. I'd be thrilled if I could buy a Carmine or something like it from Apple, but I don't see how it makes any business sense.

The NITE driver is what matters, though. OpenNI is just a wrapper and an API.
