While that picture is really cool, be careful =P

Apologies, but I have removed the pic of isaac following peoples sensible comments to be careful posting photos of my baby, not knowing who may be viewing the photos.

Thats a fantastic use for face time!

 

[ipadder]

Great use

 

[marksman]

Very cool.

Although according to all the Brits on the Macrumors forum nobody will use Facetime on the iPhone4 because they have had the same features on their phones for 6 or 7 years and NOBODY EVER uses it.

Personally I don't see FaceTime taking off as a replacement to most calls, but it is ideal for situations such as this wedding, or showing grandparents their grandchildren playing etc. I see it becoming big for these types of calls.

As for video phones existing already, I don't think any of them have implemented video calls in such a slick and user friendly way until the iPhone 4, or marketed it well.

Oh my. What would you have done if the iPhone 4 did not exist? Oh wait.... Webcams. Yup...web cams work as well.

i can see it taking off because apps like Skype can link it to the computer. and later this year the xbox with have chatting and maybe an app for that?! once everything is connected then i can see it going. and with the app store it is a good chance.

Yep, it's handy hauling around laptops and Webcams. Much easier than an iPhone 4.

Before the iPhone 4 I know I used to carry a webcam around in my pocket, on the off chance there was a computer somewhere I wanted to do a video chat...

Did you even think before you posted this comment?

Delete yourself from the Earth please.

That was unnecessary, you unnecessary *******.

Anyway... her dress is gorgeous! It's awesome that you used FaceTime for that.

Congrats on your kid, as well!

Submit them to Apple and live off the commission!


Looks like it worked well.

i haven't had the chance with face time but +1

 

[thenumbersrbad]

didn't read every post but I find it funny that in every picture the phone being held the wrong way, covering the antenna lol

Better remove ALL the pictures! We get an idea even if you just tell us what happened.....w/o pics at all.

PRIVATE pics DONT belong to PUBLIC forums.


btt:
Nice thing, but i bet a lot more people would use it, if theyd bring out a client for mac/windows. Iphone 4 users are still rare compared to pc users

Real nice pictures and wonderful story. I always wondered if anyone would use FaceTime this integrated into their lives.

 

[Cnegrad]

What kind of "configuring" did you have to do? I thought that the only thing necessary was to have FaceTime enabled in Settings. Please clarify.....

 

[iCandii]

Awesome story man, like someone said you should submit it to apple maybe they use it as a commercial idea

 

[TheConfuzed1]

Phone sex.

I win.

 

[JoJoCal19]

That is great that you were able to experience that. I think Facetime will be a huge thing due to exactly these types of scenarios.

 

[harcosparky]

I use a Canon 5D and 5D Mk II. The lens I think all those were shot with was the Canon 24-70 f2.8 L lens.

Yeah Canon!
5D/7D are in my kit.
Some older 1D's are in 'standby!

Whatever you do, don't go to any Photography Forums ... they are loaded with 'private pics'!

OP, nice use of FaceTime. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, it was just faffing with finding the WEP security keys for WiFi networks I we own. As soon as we were on the network worked.

Come on guys, he already had to take the pictures of the honeymoon down; let's give him a break.
