Today at the Back to the Mac event Apple introduced a couple of new things, one of them being Facetime for Mac OS X. This means you can now use your Mac to make free phone calls to iPhone 4, iPod touch, and other Mac users. I find this really cool, it is a step up from skype, and is free anywhere in the world. You can download the beta today, and start using it.
I just tried it and it’s pretty cool, looks like they just ported it from the iPhone 4/iPod Touch and just made some modifications to the interface. One thing that I found annoying is that you can’t just type in a number or email you want to FaceTime with, it has to be in your address book, or in your recents tab. Other than that it works well! You do have to sign up for an account, if you don’t already have an Apple Id.
I just installed Facetime on Mac system and I like it,,..
One good feature is you can add many Email address which will be used to call you ….
Wohoo…I love it….If Mac release Facetime for Windows, It will be amazing..
Best paRT I made a free phone call to my friend in U.S using iPhone4 via Facetime…
