You can configure your webcam to work through software like Cheese [Gnpome, digiKam [KDE] or if you use Skype it will do it for ya

The 0x08dd seem a magnachip MC501CB sensor unknow by gspca driver at the moment. The chipset seem a VC302 from Vimicro.

So at the moment there are no official or Unofficial Drivers.
Things would greatly improve if Manufactures started bundling Official Drivers along the product itself.Now you are forced to use your webcam in Windows only.

AS for next time, you should buy a *Supported* webcam given here:

*mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html

Isn't a few dollars worth the ability to use webcam in linux ?
