Apple should update the iSight

[interlaced]

Since iSights are built into the iMacs and MBPs now, couldn't Apple at least slim down the original iSight design a bit?

I can think of a very good reason to keep the iSight and change the connection to USB - add a video server to the Airport Express - you now have remote monitoring with amazing video for far less money than other network IP camera systems.

Why USB? Firewire is better.

im warning you. delete your post before a flame war starts.

here's the final argument that im gonna say:

USB: faster in some conditions, more universal
FW: most of the time it is a lot faster.


THE END

Why don't they allow PCs to use it? simple driver, and it makes more people aware of the superior quality and design of Apple hardware.

Seems this sort or familiarization is what people need to make the leap of faith and switch

To be fair, there are many web cams out there that can easily match the quality of the iSight.

sure, but the design is still superior, and the familiarization is what I think is important. JMO tho

$150...for this thing!? And it has worse quality than the newer iSights? Yes, I agree, an update is needed.

And as for Macs already having iSight built in, they should offer a BTO option perhaps
