iSight is end-of-life says TUAW snitch

Yes, I also sold two I had lying around for more than I paid. WA HA HA. How'd dem apples.

So what can we buy now as an alternative to the iSight? Is there anything out there that matches the quality of the iSight?

USB2 version with Windows version of iChat bundled; Apple will make further inroads so next year, when iChat mobile becomes part of the iPhone system, they'll be poised to take over the communication world the way they did with iTunes, the iPod, and the iTunes Store.

Best Buy for Business has iSights for about $150.00

I just picked one up.

The new stand-alone iSights should come standard with Mac Pros and Mac Minis (launched with Leopard?). Now that they are included with the iMacs/Notebooks, they are no longer considered a luxury item but more of an integrated feature. Much the way Wifi and Bluetooth were (with the exception of the Mac Pro).

NAB is a good while off and I don't see them releasing a consumer type item like the iSight at a pro video conference. It is odd that it is dissapearing though.

I am more interested in why no new Mac Pro love at Macworld? Once again, NAB is a while off to wait for new models even though they are much more of a pro machine and fit better with NAB than Macworld.

The iSight in my 20" iMac is pretty good. Better than my old Logitech. Maybe this is what Apple is going to do. Install iSights in all of their displays.

It's a long shot, but how about something more flexible than the iSight? An iSight with an Airport chip installed so it could be used as an IP camera as well as a webcam? Or bluetooth for scanning those libraries into Delicious Library without having to lug them to your iMac? Or how about one that will recognize a usb (or firewire) drive attached and let you record to disk?

i'd love it if the iphone could work as an isight as well...

I grabbed for our office and it's super handy, especially like one of the people said, where you can pick it up and point it around at things, and the magnetic connector comes in super handy.

Plus, it just looks right.
