don't have the need for the sightlight (no isight) but it looks pretty cool.
The iTalk on the other hand has a lot of potential....could this be asking for trouble? Recording concerts? Movies? Talk about a live CD, or 10,000.

The input is mono, and I doubt the quality will be good enough to be recording anything like a concert (tapers are sticklers for quality). However, if you could, why would that be asking for trouble? Almost every live band today encourages live taping as a way to increase their fanbase.

This is just what I need for my iSight at home, but, I'm already out of firewire ports. Looks like I'll have to fill up a PCI slot with a firewire/usb card. Apple better put more firewire and usb ports on the next case modification of the G5.

Auto light sensing... nice! It looks relatively close to the previous design mockup.

If you read the specs for the SightLight,it says that it shares the FireWire connection with your iSight, so you don't need another port. That's pretty cool.

SightLight looks great. The only thing is, will this lead to mugshot-style lighting? Anyone do professional video/film here? I was under the impression that you generally wanted the light coming from at least a slight angle, otherwise you wash out peoples features. Is that correct?

I think SightLight and italk are very good ideas. SightLight for the price of $39.99, it is just right!

Griffin iTalk -
"To record audio, simply navigate to the Griffin iTalk Playlist, play the track entitled 'Begin Recording for 1 Minute'. When the light flashes faster than it was flashing before, pause the playback of that track, and then the flashing light will blink more slowly.
You may begin to speak.
When you have finished speaking, Navigate to the Griffin iTalk Playlist, play the track entitled 'Pause Recording', and follow the same procedure as above. If you want you can save the recording by doing all sorts of other complicated stuff"
