The product packaging fails to mention that it is made for Mac's only. I purchased it and had to return it.

You have to have a firewire camera to use iChat. Firewire is Apple's version of USB. Makes sense (in a way) that they would only want Firewire cameras to work with iChat. Shortsighted, stupid and ignorant too. But we are talking about Apple.

I love my iBook. Best web browsing laptop out there. But finding peripherals or software that actually runs on it... Well, let's just say it is a challenge. For what it does, it does it flawlessly, without worms, or viruses or trojans.

But this is still very shortsighted of Apple. The iBook works great with the camera, but not the software ON the thing. Sad.

If you want a camera just to take pictures of yourself, this is not a bad thing. Not gonna replace the Nikkon, but if you're looking for iChat, look elsewhere.

Has anyone been able to use icecam with yahoo messenger? I’m using it on a mac G5. Every time I click start my webcam in yahoo the program crashes. I contacted macally, but no help… I contacted yahoo and no help. They finally sent me a message saying they are experiencing technical difficulties. I think they just wanted to shut me up. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the cam and messanger, but to no avail. Should have forked over the cash for isight.

La camara es super, lo mas funcional para Mac por el precio. Lo unico es que soy novato en osx y no se muy bien q software usar. Pero la reconocio de inmediato despues de instalar el software y es muy versatil.

Recomendada
