Well, for starters, here's a list of apps on Versiontracker:

And there's one more:

EvoCam

I have only tried EvoCam, and I dig it. It's fun to play with. More and more apps are popping up for the iSight. I don't use mine nearly enough, so I'm looking forward to more apps and more uses for it.

Have fun!

how does isight work (does it require 2 mac's or what) .. is it like microsoft's netmeeting (with video) ..

tried it at the apple store and my jaw hit the floor on how clear and non-lagging it was. its an amazing piece of hardware.

If 2 people have iChat AV and iSight cameras, they just IM each other (either over AIM or a local network) and select the "video" option. See www.apple.com/isight for more info.

And I just stumbled upon this little gem:

iStopMotion

I haven't made anything with it yet, but the interface and features are great. I really want to do something with the time lapse feature.

this is also WAY cool
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12526

iChat Streaming Icon

It creates an icon for you out of the video that your iSight is getting and updates it every 3 seconds or so...so i put it near my fish tank, and people see a streaming video of my fish! its really cool!!!

also..

http://macupdate.com/Btv

BTV Pro is a great programit does time lapse, can snap pictures and can even record large .MOV movies for use in anything, iMovie, iDVD. YOu can also adjust the camera to your liking, and upping the brightness and contrast really make the picture look good in BTV Pro.
