OK so why can't I use a 9000 on my Mac?

haha thats the first thing i thought too!

$130? Ha! I'll wait till that pricetag goes down a tad or a much cheaper alternative is released by Logitech. For now, my Playstation 2 Eyetoy camera and the macam webcam driver will do just fine for my webcam usage on my Mac ;-)

You can use a regular 9000 on your mac. The problem is, these cameras rely on the logitech software to do a lot of the special functions (e.g., auto focus). Without this software, you get a watered down experience.

Why would you need this if most mac's come with a built in camera anyways?

Mainly those who purchase apple cinema displays for Mac Pro's...

Wow, thanks Logitech. You're only about 5 years late to the party. Actually, I might buy something like this someday to replace my aging iSight, but there's certainly no rush. What I don't understand is why Apple doesn't sell an updated iSight. Am I the only person who thinks the built in iSights suck?? You can't even aim them! Any chatmate sees a nice shot of my forehead if I try to use the one built into my MacBook. Ridiculous. Not all of us use our computers while sitting at a desk like Steve Jobs does during his presentations.
