i thought i was the only one who thought facetime would be a dumb idea for ipod..
all it needs is a redesign and hd 5mp back cam (some ppl says it's not going to happen though)
Facetime is "neat" at best. A friend and I Facetimed a bit when we first got the iPhone 4. It was fun, but totally "for kicks", and just to see it work. I can't see using it regularly to talk about anything other than Facetime itself, and how neat it is.
The only other instance I can see it being cool is when one parent is home with their kid, and the other parent works. Then the kid can talk to and see daddy or mommy at work during the day to say hello. I can see that being a weekly or bi-weekly thing. But that also depends on the working parent to have Wifi at work, and also Wifi that doesn't block Facetime. I set up Wifi at my job, but Facetime calls would not go thru, so I suspect it is blocked.
I'm starting to feel like I'm not that psyched about the cameras on the new touch. In all honesty I wasn't thrilled with the back cam quality on the iPhone 4. Though I did really like the video quality. Stills were always fuzzy when indoors. Outdoors much clearer obviously because of available natural light, but even then the pictures can't match up to my Kodak Z612 which is quite a few years old at this point.
