I would like to buy an iSight but I would like to know several things before.

Does iSight work with Yahoo Messanger in order to make a video chat?

Is there a possibility that I can use it as a webcam for a website and therefore monitoring what happens in my fish tank...

Since ichat AV will cost $30, is there a possibility that they make a "combo" - OS X.3 + iSight? Have they done such a thing in the past?

Thanks.

Ok, here are some answers.

1. I don't know.

2. Yes, two ways pop into my head: QuickTime Streaming Server and Image Capture's sharing module in 10.3.

Use the QT Streaming Server in conjunction with QT Broadcaster.

Or: in 10.3 one can share a digital camera, and even set it up so that it takes pictures periodically.

3. You never know what the marketing people at Apple will do.

To add to what Oreo said about #2, there's also a great little app called EvoCam. You can do all kinds of stuff with it, including live web cam stuff.

Evocam even includes the ability to act as a web server, so you can host streaming video if your connection is fast enough. Very easy to use and inexpensive.
