    Not sure if anyone has thought about it.
    But, I would love to know if anyone taking this baby apart and seen what the webcam looks like. And maybe replaced it with a better quality internal camera from a different notebook. This 0.3MP sucks, I want to get something around 2.0MP. I work overseas a lot and do a lot of video conferencing with the wife and the baby. I would prefer a better camera.
    Also, is there a bluetooth module that one can put inside this thing? I guess I can get a tiny one, but that would take my precious USB port.

    I use skype though, how is camera on this thing? Can it at least keep up with the movement of your lips? Is it upgradeable?
