Thought I would share my experience with the HP products in general that has accumulated both through ownership and to support in the technical field.

Just purchased 2 webcams (Philips SPC1300NC). One will be shipped out to my parents house in Puerto Rico while other I’ll be using. Been using skype for a very long time which has saved me a lot of money on phone bills. I will be using skype to video chat with the parents soon enough!

And of course my webcam/skype feedback will be posted here soon enough.
