Creating Web Presence in Today's Business World

Apple’s new iPhone changes the way we communicate, giving us “FaceTime”.

Wikipedia’s definition - “Face time is interaction or contact between two or more people at the same time and physical location. Face time therefore occurs in “real life” or “meatspace” and contrasts primarily with interaction or contact which occurs over distance (eg. via telephone) and/or electronically (eg. via email, instant messaging, e-commerce, or computer simulations).

The term was originally a colloquialism but has entered the vernacular with the increasing number of people throughout the world who commonly and extensively rely on telecommunications and the internet for personal and business communication.”

FaceTime calling is video calling.

This bridges distance, gives us realtime connections, updates and current happening, all in one small handheld.  Apple states that video calling has been dreamed about for decades…

PC Magazine states that Video Calling isn’t a first with FaceTime, but has been real for years now.  They never took off though due to carriers charging by the minute and many of the early 3G phones had very bad battery life.  In PC Magazine’s article, it also states that even though FaceTime is not the first video calling, it is known that Apple takes existing technology and makes it smoother, consumer friendly and easy to use.  Examples of that are the iPod, and the iPhone.
