Will USB webcams be coming to OSX? I would like to buy one to use with a Windows computer now and work with my Mac later. What webcam makers are going to support OSX?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've found a few that work by searching these forums. Look in the OSX and peripherals sections for USB and webcam with OSX.

I have a TouCam, from Phillips that works with the drivers from a resourceful German programmer who modified the PC-Linux drivers to work for OSX. It works quite well, although not ALL features work.

Good luck and you can find the links and answers in these forums. I don't remember them offhand.

Look for a program called macam. It is a universal webcam driver/app. Works w/ lots and lots of cameras.
Paco is bitter about the loss of his .mac webpage. Image will return when his sadness lessens.
