Where is the iSight for MacPros ?

Well where are the iSights for Mac Pros? Apple I would love to pay more money for a shinny new MAc Pro but I am disturbed that Apple has ignored Mac Pros that want to have video conferencing.

Also the Apple Displays are almost a 2 year old technology and after the iSight environmental flap Mac Pro users have to Ebay for old overpriced used external iSights.

On eBay.

I don't know if I could see them putting an iSight into their displays, as it would be useless for a second display, or a laptop external display. However, I would expect that they would have an external one. Regarding the external iSight, they could just be trying to push PowerPC users onto Intel machines.

You're not locked out of video-conferencing on a Mac Pro, however. Your firewire-linked camcorder will work just fine, as well as several third-party webcams.

Where would you like them to put it? On the front of the grill? Hidden inside the CD tray?

I think you took my comment out of context, it was a reply to a comment made by another member...

But since you ask why not bluetooth?

Hehe, sorry. I didn't mean to take anything out of context.

I am of the opinion, however, that buyers of the Mac Mini (a stripped down computer for cost efficiency) or the Mac Pro (an expensive, professionally-aimed workstation) should be alright with buying a 3rd party device.

...or just buying an iMac.

They should just put an iSight on the Apple Displays. Like on the laptops.
