I just came up with an interesting thought after hearing that you can stream online video live with a nokia 95n and looking at the dock connector for the touch thinking it would be cool to be able to do on the touch/iphone.
It seems like if the touch/iphone ever got flash support in safari it wouldn't be hard for someone to make a usb webcam accessory using the usb pins on the dock connector. Most likely it wouldn't need anything special software wise because of osx. It makes wonder if somewhere down the road we could see webcam accessories for both the touch and iphone
that is if apple allows this.
of course you wouldn't really need one on the iphone unless you wanted a better cam that might be adjustable too.
What do you guys think?
(doh maybe i should have put this in hacks as thats more likely what this could become knowing
)
