[QUOTE="TJ07985, post: 35955"] Hey. I'm debating about purchasing a webcam for my iBook, and ideally, I'm looking for one that's Windows/OS X compatible. Now, there are a lot of Logitech webcams out there that support both operating systems, but they are all USB 2.0. As far as FireWire cams, the only one that I've found so far that's PC/OS X compatible is Orange Micro's iBot.[URL]http://www.orangemicro.com/ibotpro.html[/URL] Now, if you can use the iBook's built in microphone (I've got the dual USB iBook, white, 900 Mhz G3). I've also thought about the iChat, but the $150 price tag kind of turns me off, plus it's not PC compatible. So, I'd like to know your thoughts on USB 2.0 vs Firewire webcams, and which type I should get. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
