Whats going to suck about Face Time!

I think I have done this maybe twice for maybe 10 seconds per time. Their inability to pay attention to the movie is not my fault.

My friends who work at the theater would have you escorted out when they do their walkthroughs.

I'm looking forward to seeing people Face Timin' n drivin'.

I promise that after 2 weeks of the iPhone 4 being on the market, I will never see anyone using it anywhere in Manhattan. It is a gimmick, and normal iPhone users (ie. the people who don't read this forum) will not use it very often. Especially outside of their homes.

Facetime is a gimmick >_>. You only think you need it because Apple tells you how REVOLUTIONARY IT IS. It's a gimmick if you never needed it before.

As it's generally inside my rather large handbag or under my jacket, I think I'd be okay.

People don't "need" an iPhone either. People don't "need" a Mac. I can tell you, honestly, that if my family members had iPhone 4's, I would FaceTime rather frequently.

I'm gonna agree that FaceTime is totally a gimmick. I think while it may be useful for the things that were in the Apple video, once the "shine" wears off, it won't be used that often. I don't know how many doctor's offices actually have WiFi anyway.

I would hope a movie theater doesn't have WIFI or else people are going to video call their friends to show them scenes in the movie while holding their phone up high to distract everyone.

I hardly even use the stupid phone feature of the iPhone in the first place.. last thing I need to do is start using video calls.

I could see some interesting pr0n usages though!

I am, upon occasion, one of those people. The difference is I'm checking RunPee to see if it's a good time to get up to go to the ladies room. I always try to hide the light as much as possible to the point that I try to check inside my handbag. I don't like those people so much either.

Next time I'm at the movies, if I see someone pull out an iPhone and start up that app, I'll know it's you!

RunPee is a black screened app. I start it up before the movie begins and turn down the brightness all the way. It's great. I don't miss anything good if I have to go in the middle. And I don't think I've ever bothered anyone as I take precautions to keep the light to an absolute minimum.

Besides, I go to the movies in Virginia.
