In 1936 Dr. Georg Schubert invented the first public video telephone service linking Berlin to Nuremberg, Munich, and Hamburg. Today the concept of video telephone has transformed into a new branch of the Telecom Industry. In 1936 you had to visit special post office video telephone booths to make a video call. Now this once great luxury has become accessible to the public. What better example than FaceTime? A revolutionary new application and function embedded in Mac OS X and the all new iPod touch, iPad 2 and iPhone 4.
With FaceTime you can now keep in touch with your family and friends not only through voice calls but also you can see and share smiles through video calls. This amazing function along with its crystal clear, real-time broadcast makes the distance fade away by giving you the chance to see your loved ones faces and even share moments of compassion. FaceTime, with its cutting edge technology, gives you the chance to see people who are thousands of miles away from your current position just by one simple hit of a button. Also, if you are already engaged into a voice call you don't have to end it to start a video call. FaceTime has a unique feature that allows you to switch from voice to video call by simply tapping the FaceTime button. The other person will receive an invitation and if he or she accepts then you both are on your way to experience the beauty of face to face conversations. FaceTime also lets you choose from which camera your terminal broadcasts. With this feature you could share your experiences with other people like birthday parties, concerts, museum tours and much,much more.
How many times in life have you wanted to share a moment with someone who didn't happen to be right next to you? With FaceTime these moments are history. Parents that are on business trips, friends that study abroad, grandparents that cannot travel for long distances, all these people are important to you and till now you had to accept that the job, age or education were more important than the moments you wanted to share. FaceTime is here to rid of all these moments by bringing your loved ones to you. Grandparents can now be there for you when you receive your high school diploma, friends can now sing at your birthday party, parents can now support you at your first role play even if they aren't in the country.
FaceTime is the final step in completely integrating voice with image. With FaceTime you will consider voice calls a thing of the past, something that doesn't satisfy your needs any more. Hearing a familiar voice is a wonderful thing but seeing and hearing that person in real-time, it's priceless. FaceTime is here, and there's no doubt that it's here to stay. But my question is: What's there not to like?
