So, how long till you think Apple links Facetime and iChatAV?
It would be nice to be able to do a Facetime chat from a Macbook to an iPhone 4.

I made a group on Facebook for people to meet up to use facetime the group you should search for on Facebook is "FaceTime Exchange"
Thanks!
Thanks!
This will increase stock value. More people will realize what a cool thing FaceTime is, but don't have another iPhone 4 to try it. Then after they try it with Apple, they may encourage the wife, et. al. to get another iPhone 4. This will create more sales, and is brilliant.
iPhone 4 Cost
I was watching a demonstration of iPhone 4 Face Time at Apple Regent Street store. The guy giving the demo stated that it does cost minutes to use Face Time and that only the video is pushed through the wifi.
We turned our phones on airplane and enabled wifi. It worked when were connected to the same router (local), but on different routers, it didn't work.
My suggestion, VPN into the same server then initiate facetime.
FaceTime VPN servers anyone?

That's interesting. I watched the Engadget demo video of Facetime and I remember there being a noticeable increase in audio quality when the call changes from "normal speakerphone call" to Facetime.
It's cute how you think little things like these affect stock value at all.
But seriously, I'm betting 90% of these calls dialed with the touch controls of the tip of a penis.

I called 001 888 3223846 from the UK and it worked fine. Very impressed. Just wish it worked with more than iPhone 4. Will get better as more friends get one though.
i am very happy that apple did this. i hated waiting for my friends to get home to test this feature out. i think it was very smart of apple and the guy i talked to seem very nice and interested in what i was learning even though i am sure he talked to hundreds already. very, very nice feature
Just for your FYI. The people doing this are not in Cali. They are in the Austin Apple offices.
It was cool.
I just wish the flip had worked. We both switched it over and he could see the background my phone was seeing but all I got was a frozen me and frozen him.
I'll have to try again.
When you flip does your little screen become the view of the other side of the phone or does it remain on your face?

I wanna do this
during tomorrow's USA soccer match from a bar. I wish I knew someone else who had an iPhone 4. Anyone game?

FaceTime over 3G - works great
I'm one of the lucky few who has gotten to use FaceTime over 3G. How? I have a MiFi 2372 with an AT&T data plan. The MiFi has the same HSUPA networking capabilities as the iPhone 4, but using it "fools" the iPhone into dropping any anti-3G restrictions.
Well, I can report that FaceTime works every bit as well over 3G as it does over WiFi+DSL. I've made a few calls from various part of town to folks with normal WiFi connectivity and not had any trouble with it yet. In fact, the one FaceTime call I had problems with so far was two phones connecting over the same AirPort Extreme (one of them was on the edge of its range).
