Thankfully FaceTime is WiFi only!

Now this is fairly old news but I finally got around to watching these iPhone 4 FaceTime advertisements. Now I have to admit these advertisements do a great job of showing off the FaceTime feature which I’m sure many people will use, however I doubt it will be something I personally will use and I’ll tell you why. It works a lot like skype only with your phone, personally whenever I answer a call on Skype I hardly ever do video because at home I typically look like crap! If I refuse to answer video calls on Skype I really doubt I will be answering them on the iPhone 4 (this is coming from someone who used to broadcast their life 24/7!). Now some of you probably do love Skype Video and use it all the time, but from what I’ve heard from most other people, they are exactly the way I am when it comes to Skype video.

Some problems people were mentioning is that it doesn’t work on 3G and that’s a big problem, me personally I am actually glad as hell that it is WiFi only. It is a huge driving hazard when people talk on their phones while driving correct? Well that hazard was doubled when texting arrived and people started texting while driving. Now this problem will multiply by 8 if we were video calling while driving. Stupid people will be trying to point their phones at some random dog on the sidewalk and nail the car in front of them. Thankfully AT&T’s network sucks and we don’t have the ability to do FaceTime over 3G.

Now let me know what you think about FaceTime 🙂
