Steve Jobs said cellular networks weren't ready for FaceTime. Turns out, it works just fine.

I was just about to say your voices are backwards.

As far as I know AT&T is service provider right? If they are the "real" reason why facetime only works with a Wifi connection. Does that mean facetime has a possible chance of working on a cellular network in other countries?

First of all, I demand a video feature for Chloe. Second, AT&T networks sucks, but I guess I can't blame them for not allowing facetime.

So, uhh, neat?

Haha, had to get the lick at the end...

I can't wait to see people show off facetime to their friends and their friends be like "WOW that looks like crap".

Ooooh in a few years that could be so good for sign language!

OK, now our compression stuff is going down for a Giant Bomb thing, so the fixed video probably won't be up for a while.

I love how there is always dogs around the offices. 
I want to work around dogs.

Been doing this the past three weeks with out any probs on the evo with fring. as long as theres not a cap, it works fine on 3g/4g.

I've been able to do Video Calls for many many many years now, I don't understand what's so special about face time.
 
I mean my k800i does Video Calls just fine and it's what, 4-5 years old now? And that wasn't even the first phone to do it.

*Sigh*  
 
I really hope someone makes something good with the blood front facing camera because Facetime is a total waste or time.  Hell my Nokia N800 could do this!  (Needed a WiFi then too. :p)

Corgis are sweet dogs.

Can you try this off of a 3GS running MyWi?  I'd do it myself but I upgraded my 3GS to iOS 4 and MyWi currently doesn't support iOS 4.

@Dude: Exactly. I've been doing 3g videocalls for a long time on non-iphones. I don't understand all the hype.
Viderianon June 25, 2010 at 9:36 a.m.
Yeah, it works but is choppy.  I am sure it won't be enabled on G3 because it looks like crap because of the low upload speeds.
