Apple has so far announced a new iMac with integrated iSight. This is the thinnest iMac to date with an integrated 640x480 camera and uses core video to add effects and such to real time recording. They have also announced Photobooth and Frontrow software. Photobooth is professional photo management software and frontrow is a maintainance utility for your Mac. Both will work with iLife.
Front Row - which comes with all new iMacs - gives people a new way to enjoy your music, video and pictures from the sofa - with an iPod style remote control. It still uses the iMac's screen, but text is big and control is simple, so you don't have to be hunched up in front of the screen. He's comparing the simple, small remote for Front Row with the bloated remotes from Microsoft Media Center - Apple's 6 buttons compared to Media Center's 40-plus.
