Apple iMac G5 iSight Photoshop
Apple’s filing for an integrated horizontal axis swiveling webcam gives us an insight into what Apple might add to their desktop and notebook lines.
AppleInsider says sources have reported sightings of iMac prototypes that feature a webcam. A built in webcam would be useful in this day where VOIP is getting hotter and hotter. With video talk getting more popular with 3G handphones, it’s only logical that with broadband connections, video phone calls using PC would be in demand. An iMac with a built-in iSight camera is logical and would definitely sell, since iChat AV 3.0 is one of the main features of Tiger.
With a little Photoshop magic, the camera equipped iMac might look like this…
The lense kind of spoils the clean look of the iMac so I don’t now how Apple’s designers (with far far more creative capability than me) would decide to integrate it. Also, I doubt the iMac’s webcam would have swivel capability as on a desktop there would not be much use for such a feature. But if they did… I wonder how they would implement it?
Wouldn’t it be great if it was true?

[…] Looks like my Photoshop was pretty accurate, except the actual iSight lense is much smaller! […]
