Apple files patent for laptop with integrated camera

laptoppatent

Yesterday, the Patent & Trademark Office revealed the contents of patent application 20050201047, which was filed by Apple, and contains a design for a laptop with a digital camera integrated into its lid. The patent itself reads: "The portable computer further includes a latch including a data capture device such as a camera that is configured to secure the lid to the base."

Could it be a future iSight, built right into the computer itself? Or a low-res camera, similar to those built into many phones for snapping quick shots? Let the rumor-mongering begin!
