Umm...  I wonder if AppleScript is robust enough to tell us if a computer is equipped with a built-in iSight camera?  I have one app that utilizes a built-in iSight camera.  So it has to see at first if the computer is equipped with one  And it uses ioreg (Shell).  If the computer is running Snow Leopard, ioreg will have a line like the following.

Built-in iSight@fd110000

Well, I was naive.  I just happened to notice that ioreg doesn't report this line under Lion.  So I need a different approach in telling if the computer is equipped with a built-in iSight.
