Talk:Quickcam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is it of any interest to WP to mention the irony of the fact that, since moving to Logitech, the range has become less and less compatible with Macintosh in spite of the rest of the technology industry's general return to the Mac platform? Also, it might be useful to mention the Open Source driver macam which can provide some support for these webcams on OS X. Connectionfailure 07:24, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I can't find the irony with Logitech becoming less compatible with the Mac. This seems to be a normal business practice to shift to markets with the largest customer base. So maybe more explanation on this would be helpfull. Kipster 13:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

The product was originally developed for the Mac, and had an existing customer base that has seen their support gradually diminished to almost non-existence. Compare this with, say, Canon, who have had a love-hate relationship with Apple. For a while they had very few products for the Mac and now many of their printers and digital cameras are supported. Contrast with Apple who bought Logic from eMagic and shut down development of the Windows version. Connectionfailure 11:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
