    Question USB 2.0 Web Cams

    Does anyone have any idea when they'll start making new web cams with the new USB spec for what i'm guessing much better quality video and pictures? thanks!

    Well you may get some better picture and quality but in general web cams are still very bad in performance and I'm sure the current ones don't take up even all of the 12Mbps, but I would think once USB 2.0 ports become widely used, which will be with the next generation of motherboards, so I would expect lots of 2.0 devices in a year or 2
