August 2nd: We don't post rumors but when a guy at Apple tells you there is one coming and has never been wrong in the past, you just can't help but post it. He does not have any details yet but here is some quotes from our conversation.
"Apple very soon with have an updated iSight"
"It has not really been publicly or internally any other info but more or less there WILL BE a revised iSight in the next few week"
"I know.. I have been working hard as I can trying to find out.. Because in the retail portion they are constrained and nothing really going on.. I have a feeling it will have support for the H.264"
We hope there will be additions like an auto closing lens after a few minutes of inactivity, a smaller form factor but using the same CCD and hopefully an SightLight type of addition like the one from Griffin Technology to light up your area. And of course we always hope for an updated firmware for current iSight users so they can get th bug fixes and ehances the new iSights have. Our contact has said, "I will keep you posted".
Spidermac from Spymac.com has posted something he found on Apple's new pages for their new line of displays stating the following...
"Magnetic Personality:
To attach your iSight to the new displays, Apple now offers a magnetic mounting solution. This stand is available in new iSight boxes this summer, and included in the iSight Accessory Kit.
its just an updated package. they're going to throw in new mounts, maybe drop the price, but i doubt anything else will change. and that was the same old iSight that steve was using to demo the h.264 stuff. the support for h.264 is already in the firmware. don't believe me? get yourself a copy of tiger and try it out..."
