It’ll only help them long-term to push an honest open standard.
I’d rather see a return of the external iSight. The one on the MacBook[Pro]s is certainly nice, but the outboard firewire iSight was phenomenal quality at a good price and more flexible in use/placement.
Seeing as they’ve made the very best small notebooks at other points in time—PowerBook Duo series, 2400, 12” Powerbook G4—it would be great to see them continue the tradition.
