Other than the ability to make video calls to a computer/laptop, I'm not sure how this is an improvement from Apple's "FaceTime".
I suppose that if you own an older iPhone/iPod or an iPad and want to receive video calls but not have the ability to broadcast your own video, then this is a much appreciated update.
- aresant 16y agoTwo big changes: - you can video chat with people without an apple FaceTime compatible product. - you can use it over 3G unlike FaceTime which is limited to wifi
- cubicle67 16y ago- you can do voice only calls, which means your iPod Touch is now a phone
- grinich 16y agoYou could do that before the update.
- cubicle67 16y agothanks, I had no idea. I thought it was still text only

- portman 16y ago"Other than the ability to make video calls to a computer/laptop" The number of device that you can make video calls to increased from ~10M (iPhone4 and iPod Touch 4) to ~1000M (internet-connected PCs, notebooks, and netbooks). So if the Skype videocalling network has 100x the devices as the FaceTime videocalling network, then its value is something like 10,000 times greater [1]. It's a bit like stating "I'm not sure how $10 million is an improvement over $1000." [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfes_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfes_law
