BRANDON KARON: The MacBook Air also has a built-in iSight camera which is a web camera.
It also has a built-in microphone and speakers so you can do videoconferencing, let's say
maybe with a business partner or even your friend. All you need is you need iChat or
an AOL Instant Messenger account. And what's cool with the MacBook Air is normally the
web cameras are huge. I mean, they're not, yehey big, or I know they make smaller ones
