I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but,,,
There is now an alternative the the iSight that works on Macs
I was looking for a camera to use with my wife's newer Mini with Skype.
Saw this little camera called an iMage from picoinstruments.com in a magazine blurb. Figured that I couldn't lose for the asking price of $59. Ordered on Friday night direct off their website, had it in hand by Monday, plugged it in, and two seconds later up popped the message that skype video was now good to use. Brings new meaning the the term "plug and play".
Tested it out - works just fine. Image is typical webcam quality. Now we can Skype from US to daughter in Spain with video. THere is a plug in required to use it with iChat, a download available on their site.
This one is worth a try. http://www.picoinstruments.com/picowebcam.htm
(I tried to do a search to see if thie new product had been mentioned before, but that kinda tough with a name like iMage = image = tons of threads about pictures!)
