Treat it as a rumor of course but there has been pure speculation that there will be an iSight Mark 2 this year. Sorts of features people would like to see include a wide angle / zoom to allow it to be close but to also include multiple parties. A built in light would be useful to some as well.
We can guess that its likely that Apple have given this some thought given Tiger will support 4 parties speaking, making this a much more exiciting personal and useful business tool...
My order at Apple.com for an iSight said 2 to 3 weeks, and it has now been 3 weeks and no shipment When I called, they said it would be another 1 to 2 weeks but I would be 'impressed' by what I received.

That sounds good. For the majority of people, the iSight is still overpriced for what you get.
With the new version of iChat coming out, though...

interesting, they actually said that? maybe i'll hold out even longer for the iSights for the family. for now, i'll probably just splurge on an airport expresss...or two
So I really want an iSight. I just want to use it for casual chatting and maybe recording a small video here and there. The quality now seems great and will only improve with tiger next year. Do you think I should buy one now or wait until the expo?
Am I selfish by hoping there isn't a new iSight on its way?
(Note I only bought my iSight a couple of weeks ago.. then bough the SightLight)

iSight V2 ? - Maybe, Just Maybe
I am a real Apple impulse buyer - BT KB being latest, despite not really "needing" one. The iSight was to be the next new purchase - most of the local shops near both work and home are "temporarily" out of stock - very irregular unless something new is coming out soon - especially when you consider the stock situation on, for example the iMac before the announcement of new ones in September. So I am waiting (though it hurts SOOOOO much not to spend the cash burning a hole in my pocket !)

Well its Tuesday....
The Apple store is still listing a 2 to 3 week delay My order placed July 31 still says shipping on or about August 26, 2004.
Many local area stores here in SoCal do not have them in stock.
These are all signs that supply is limited. Often, but not always, this means that a rev model is in the wings.
Of course, this does not coincide with the Apple Expo Paris. Maybe they will still do a Tuesday release on August 24.
If you put any credence in MOSR, they talk about upcoming iSight models with better video and power usage.
What is clear is that the current model is becoming scarce and its been a while and with new iChat in Tiger, we can only hope for an update. At the least a cool new mount for the new Apple displays.
