The iSight is Dead? Long live the iSight!

Hardmac reports that the stand-alone iSight as we know it has been given End of Life (EOL) status by A le and that we should expect a new one within the next few months. While I can't currently find confirmation of that fact, I'd say it's a safe bet. The US and Canada A le Stores do still list the iSight for sale, however, albeit with an estimated shi ing time of 2-3 weeks. UK and European stores don't list the iSight for sale at all.

So what can we expect in a new and improved iSight? Hardmac eculates that Firewire will be dro ed in favor of U 2.0, for better PC and Windows compatibility and that A le will add IR and an A le Remote "to bring FrontRow functionalities to officially not su orted Mac models." Personally I'd prefer it remain Firewire and add Bluetooth, but we'll just have to wait and see what A le has in mind.
