iSight Revision Soon?

According to ThinkSecret, iSights are in scarce supply at many retailers including some Apple Retail stores, with a revised model due out soon.

At the Apple online store, the iSight lists as part number M8817LL/C (up from B), and is scheduled for delivery 1-2 weeks from now.

I'd like to see a built in light that would automatically adjust to low light situations... and a remote control swivel functionality (yeah right). Bundling some additional software (like Evocam) might be nice as well.

It's a "C" rev - I doubt you'll regret getting your "B" revs. Probably nothing substantial.

It should probably be noted that the "B" revision was new mounting hardware to allow them to work with the new Aluminum displays. This upgrade/update is probably minor, if anything. It may simply be a change in manufacturing ramps.

There wasn't a helluva of a difference between A and B, was there?

The iSight is good, but it would be nice for it to get better. And cheaper. That way I could get one. :D

My "A" is still sitting in it's case waiting for friends to really use theirs. I hope Adium will be able to support video soon. I really dislike iChat, the only thing it's good for is transferring files, which again, I hope adium can fix on their app.

But! I hear that iChat will have tabbed windows which might make me switch back. But Adium is soooo choice...

Cheers.

Whatever they release I hope it'll include a firmware update that allows older iSights to play nice with other firewire devices.

A Pan, Tilt and Zoom iSight with remote access would be awesome!

I have no regrets I love my iSight. Its very usful not only for video chat but for taking short videos with iMovie.

I just wish they didn't cost so much.
