FaceTime From the Middle of Pacific Ocean [Video]

If you have an iPhone 4, you’ve tried FaceTime. Either you’ve called Apple, or you’ve started a video call with one of your friends. I did both.

How stable and compatible can Apple’s FaceTime be, anyway? We’ve read reports of firewalls blocking its connection. Still, the good folks over at TUAW have managed to talk with a...

New iPhone 4 ads highlight FaceTime, tug at the old heartstrings
