Just a quick question about the IChat program. On the demo at WWDC steve jobs demonstrates the new ichat program and how it works etc. My question isn't related so much to the program but more to the macbook i guess.
Anyways the question is: Does the macbook have a built in mic or do you still need a headset or some kind of input device? In the demo he is not using one....

Thanks

Joe

It has both a built in mic, and a built in webcam.

Both of them can be used with iChat and other programs.

heh thanks again stu, just a quick question. how is quality of the audio output on the mic? does it sound good?

It is pretty good. I have used it once or twice for video chat on a local network.

Perhaps, telephone quality, not HiFi or anything, but definitely passable.

Skype might be a good option for you. I use it all the time and like it very much

its free for computer to computer calls but you can also call any number in the world for a small fee
