Ok, today I got the Logitech C210 webcam. It's small and cute, it's USB cord is a little short (1,5 m / 5 feet), but above all it just works. Video and audio are recognized in QuickTime Player, Skype and Audacity (audio only). Quality is better than the Trust Cuby. At 19 euro, I'm a happy camper.

First, thank you all for your suggestions. Today I bought a Trust Cuby for 13 Euro. I got it because it was the only webcam with audio cable (3,5 mm jack) for the microphone connection; all other webcams had USB connection only (thus, for both video and audio). I chose this solution because I want
