What's so special about Facetime?   My boss wanted some help
setting up Facetime between his iPhone and his iPad so he and
his wife could use it for video conferencing. What's so special
about Facetime? And wouldn't he be better off running Skype?

Facetime? It makes video calls using email addresses, which is
pretty cool from a user point of view. It's not like there's a
cellphone number attached to your iPad or iPad touch or MacBook

IP address to do the actual work, but like all of Apple's
technology, you're not encouraged to peek under the hood.
Skype is available for the iPhone, but not available for the
iPad yet. I expect it will be available by year's end.  As an
alternative you could use Fring, which also works on Android and
Windows.   Ask a question  Join Now or Sign In to ask a
