  If someone doesn't have a camera on their laptop/desktop, I would still bet on them having them on phone if they have a smart phone. I hope iOS supports getUserMedia() soon. On top of that, I think cameras have been standard on laptops for several years now. That fact coupled with the fact that most computers don't get more than 4-6 years of use leads me to believe that for many demographics the percent of attached cameras is probably pretty high. People with desktops are less likely to have attached cameras, but desktops largely went out of fashion with consumers a few years ago when the laptop became powerful enough for most consumer uses. All in all, I'd say that cameras are probably on the computers and phones of well more than 50% of the population that uses the internet daily. The only exception would probably be work desktop machines.
