Is there a way to use the iPhone as a webcam for a PC or something using an app (preferably free)?
 
Not that I know of. If there will be an app for webcam use, I bet it will only be available to work on jailbroken phones. For some reason I don't see Apple passing any webcam apps.

Edit: I forgot about uStream Broadcaster...
 
There actually is an app like that called iWebcamera. I read a review about it and it was supposedly working pretty well. Costs 4.99, though..
 
hmm okay I'll check that out. Though I don't really need it to work on 3G, wifi works fine (as I want to hook it up to my desktop).

EDIT: what I really want is to use it for skype or something (as currently you can only use fring and it's a bit buggy).
 
Any updates on this? Have been wanting to do the same for Skype but dont really want to just go buy a webcam if something I already have will work.
