Tech Specs:

QUOTE

Available 1.1 or 2.0 USB port (USB 2.0 high speed port required for megapixels image capture)

I think what these strange 'specs' are saying is that you need USB 2 for moving picture capture/chats. I think the iSight was a FireWire ( 400? ) model so USB 2 offers similar communications speeds.

My first iSight was FW and required 600 mHz, but it did work (kindof) with my Pismo, as I recall. Whizbang w/ the ALPB (G4) and Igloo (G4)

Amazing site, Kris.

With the disappearance of iSight cameras from the marketplace, these data should be very helpful to the uninitiated.

Did you notice that His Steveness was using the old style iSights during his WWDC presentation? I guess he procured one while they were still available...
