People have wanted to have a device that would allow them to chat with people face to face, like actually seeing them.  How fun it would be to talk with other people and feel like they’re actually there, in front of you.

This is exactly what the iPad feature FaceTime is for.  FaceTime allows you to see another iPad or iPhone user you are chatting with in real time, so it’s like a video conference without the complicated setups.  All you need are Apple gadgets with two cameras, just like the iPhone and the last two generations of iPads.  This is exactly why a lot of people went on to sell iPad 1s and upgrade to iPad 2s – to enjoy Facetime!

FaceTime works right out of the box

To use FaceTime, you do not have to create or set up an account, screen name or anything like that. Tell Siri that you want to have a FaceTime talk with anyone with a FaceTime supported device and then your device will call them automatically.

But if you do not have Siri, say for example you are using your iPad 2 or the new iPad, you can easily tap the FaceTime button and everything’s a breeze.  You may be tempted now to sell your iPad and use an iPhone for FaceTime, but you never know – the next iPad may have Siri already.

Apple says that “an invitation pops up on her screen asking if she wants to join you. When she accepts, the video call begins. It’s all perfectly seamless. And it works in both portrait and landscape views.”

FaceTime Cameras

“You will always be presented in the best possible light”

The iPhone 4S has two built-in cameras: The one on the front which can be found above the display and one on the back that is next to the LED flash. As the front camera is fine-tuned for FaceTime, it has just the right field of view, depth of field and focal length to focus on your face and show the image up to your arm’s length.

You can also switch to use the back camera if the situation calls for it. You can use both cameras and you can still be connected to the video call. A tap of a finger will determine all the things you want to achieve when using FaceTime.

You also do not have to be worried about how much you will have to pay, as all video calls with FaceTime are free of charge, given that you are connected to a wireless internet connection or Wi-Fi.  Not only will you enjoy virtually chatting and seeing that person face to face, you also won’t have to worry about paying for it!  How cool is that?
