Apple will be releasing an iSight Firmware update later this week.
Specific changes addressed are uncertain at this time.

In other news, that damned iSight camera works as a microphone, and only transmits data at 48KHz, which is a format I never expected to see, and thus crashes ut2004 on startup if it's your primary input device (which, on most G4 towers, it will be your ONLY input device, so this isn't uncommon).
To add insult to injury, the damned thing won't run a HAL callback if you've got the System Preferences sound panel open. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or yet another corner case CoreAudio expects you to handle without documentation.
Sorry, I'm a bit pissy this morning.

Excuse my ignorance! but could the firmware update be part of some kind of cunning masterplan to bring the iSight to the PC world....?

I think iSights all-ready work on Windows with the latest AIM application. On OSX iSight can be used as an audio source but on Windows it is only a video source.
New Firmware could make the device fully compatible with Windows. I am sure that Apple would love to sell more peripherals to the Windows market.

i sight isnt supported by windows or the aim 5.5
huh? could you clarify?video conferencing between ichat and aim is supported,
so video from an ichat with isight can not be viewed by an aim 5.5 client on windows.
