Yes, you can use probes2tableBM() which uses biomaRt for the lookup 
rather than the annotation package. The function arguments are quite 
similar to probes2table(), but there are some differences, so please see 
the help page for more info.

If you really like the annaffy-style HTML with the green colors on the 
expression values you could alternatively use the SQLForge functions 
inside of AnnotationDbi package to build your own annotation.db package 
which you could then use with probes2table.

Best,

Jim
