Isotope requires jQuery 1.4.3 and greater.

http://drupal.org/node/171213

Drupal 7 includes jQuery 1.4.4 and jQuery UI 1.8.7.

Why the dependency? I removed it and all seems good.

I tested the same (drupal 7.22 and views_isotope without jquery_update) because jquery_update makes it very difficult to work with the media module. So far I couldn't find anything not working. So it seems to be safe to remove this dependency.

I too was having issues with jQuery Update (javascript in the front and back end of my site was disabled- even when I selected v1.5). I removed the dependency of Views Isotope on jQuery Update and everything is working well. Hopefully I'll be able to move forward successfully without jQuery Update enabled.

JQuery Update is no longer required and will be dropped as a dependency in the next release.

Patch attached... Can I be so bold as to mark it tested?

Can I be so bold as to ask for adding this patch to the 1.x branch? I have a use case where I do not want to add jquery_update and all of its baggage to my project.

Included in patch
1. Removal of jquery_update requirement
2. Addition of runtime requirement suggestion
3. Make file that downloads and places the jquery.isotope and jquery.imagesloaded plugins

Thanks,

Fixed in 7.x-2.0-beta1.

If people are willing to test #5 against the 1.x branch I can commit it.

@sherakama, let me know if this is still a requirement for you, otherwise I might go ahead and close this ticket. I personally don't have time to test patches against old beta versions, and I recommend you just apply the patch yourself, until you are ready to upgrade.
