Remember when everyone thought that video chat would be the future – then it arrived and nobody used it? Apple hopes to change that with FaceTime, the iPhone 4’s video-calling function, which uses a frontfacing camera to facilitate 30fps video conversations.
You activate FaceTime via your Contacts; for it to work, the person you’re calling must have both Wi-Fi and an iPhone 4 (or new iPod touch) of their own. You can’t yet make video calls to other devices – not even iChat users on Macs. Quality is far better than existing 3G mobile video calls, displayed at a decent resolution. The option to switch to the rear cam to show your chat buddy what you’re looking at is a nice touch, and there’s no noticeable lag if you’re both on a decent broadband internet connection.
FaceTime’s a nice idea, but it needs to work over 3G and with other devices if it’s ever to take off.
