Last image they put up was this one, taken without the Dust Cover:
Original Caption Released with Image:
This is one of the first images taken by NASA's Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars the evening of Aug. 5 PDT (morning of Aug. 6 EDT). It was taken through a "fisheye" wide-angle lens on the left "eye" of a stereo pair of Hazard-Avoidance cameras on the left-rear side of the rover. The image is one-half of full resolution. The clear dust cover that protected the camera during landing has been sprung open. Part of the spring that released the dust cover can be seen at the bottom right, near the rover's wheel.
On the top left, part of the rover's power supply is visible.
Some dust appears on the lens even with the dust cover off.
The cameras are looking directly into the sun, so the top of the image is saturated. Looking straight into the sun does not harm the cameras. The lines across the top are an artifact called "blooming" that occurs in the camera's detector because of the saturation.
As planned, the rover's early engineering images are lower resolution. Larger color images from other cameras are expected later in the week when the rover's mast, carrying high-resolution cameras, is deployed.

The JPL's Mars Science Lab Multimedia Images has it and the others taken through the clear (dusty) lens covers. They also expanded the upper right side, and said that was the wall of the crater Curiosity is looking at in that direction, but they didn't post it yet.
I also caught the Press Conference, and it seemed to me that Bolden got a slight zinger in to Soetoro/Obama and Holdren when he went off his 'scripted remarks' at the beginning of his comments. To be honest I was tuning them out, but I haven't located a video of it yet to verify it.
All in all - a very good accomplishment by a great team at NASA. Thanks all.
