the problem is not the webcam device itself but the Applications you
want to use a webcam with.
The only webcams you can use in Mac OS X have to be firewire based in
order to be recognised. This means only an iSight or a firewire
camcorder can be used. The IOXio group I htink they call themselves
have written a USB driver to support a large assortment of
unsupported USB webcams but as I said initially, It's not the device
that's the problem, its application support for them.
Currently iChat and Yahoo Messenger are the only Applications to
support Webcams and Yahoo does it without Audio streaming. Well known
instant messenger services like MSN Messenger Mac still haven't
included webcam support but lets not complain I mean their latest
release did include display picture support :)

I was told that Skype on the iMac does not support webcams. Isn't
there any webcam
available for use as such?
