Facetime...sounds interesting, but I'm not really sure I'd use it. I'd have to be in a wifi zone, which is probably home for me, where I'd rather just use iChat. Without being able to use it anywhere it feels gimmicky.
Doesn't it seem odd that Apple would introduce FaceTime on the iPhone and quickly roll it out to the iPod Touch, but NOT integrate it with iChat on Macs? I mean, FaceTime is gonna be mostly useless for iPhone/Touch 4 owners until a lot of their contacts also have a iPhone/Touch 4. But if Apple made it work with iChat, then at least i4 owners could FaceTime chat with all Mac owners. Heck, maybe they should even rebrand iChat as FaceTime, since all Macbooks and iMacs in rcent years already have a built-in video camera and iChat installed, to bring consistency to the OSX/iOS chat options. Next step could be rolling out a Windows version of FaceTime/iChat, putting them squarely up against Skype and Google Chat et al as the best video chat platform. Ok, so that's a bigger step. But the ability to use iChat on a Mac to make/recieve video calls to i-device FaceTime users just seems too obvious; and it would give new FaceTime users a much wider pool of people to use FaceTime with instead of being stuck only being able to use FaceTime with the few friends they might have that also happen to already have a FaceTime device. Why wouldn't Apple make their iPhone video chat client immediately compatible with their Mac video chat client. Right? Or am I missing something?
