Steal This Idea » Apple TV + ?? = Living room videoconferencing

Philip Haine

Apple has had very good videoconferencing on Macs for years.

They have FaceTime video conferencing in iPhones and, soon, iPads.

The $100 AppleTV, which runs the same iOS, has a USB port.

Hmmm, I wonder what could be plugged into that USB port to make the system act as a living room videoconferencing system. A camera+mic perhaps?

That would be more than a little disruptive to the office videoconferencing world, also.
