Imagine life without a cell phone. It has become such an integral part of the modern life that it’s rare to even see a pay phone nowadays. I think I have seen one in Los Angeles in the past year.
Only problem is the very end. The HTC EVO included FRING which was the first Cellphone and technology to bring users face to face over a mobile network.
Facetime only allows the ability to communicate over a WIFI network.
So cool !
Why is Apple’s FaceTime technology being featured as the brink of 2010 cellphone evolution? Mobile video calling has been around for years before Apple got its hands on it.
@Fuchsia and @Daniel – good point. I suppose we should have noted that Apple’s FaceTime is making it more mainstream and featuring it as the next “must-have” on your phone. But you’re right – the technology was technically around before it got on the iPhone. Thanks for reading and commenting!
