iSight is end-of-life says TUAW snitch

It's no secret that iSights have been scarcer than gold dubloons of late, with most stores completely out and many vendors reporting extended ship times, not to mention that it's gone from the online Apple Store. Now, a late-night tip to the TUAW Secret Squirrel Hotline from a self-proclaimed Apple employee tells us what we pretty much knew: the iSight has been discontinued.

The question is, what next? A USB2, more compact version? No standalone unit, but built-in cameras for Cinema Displays? Dare we think it -- iSight HD? Perhaps by NAB 2007 in April we'll know.

Thanks M!
