A le files patent for laptop with integrated camera

Yesterday, the Patent %26am Trademark Office revealed the contents of patent a lication 20050201047, which was filed by A le, and contai a design for a laptop with a digital camera integrated into its lid. The patent itself reads: "The portable computer further includes a latch including a data capture device such as a camera that is configured to secure the lid to the base."

Could it be a future iSight, built right into the computer itself? Or a low-res camera, similar to those built into many phones for a ing quick shots? Let the rumor-mongering begin!
