iPhone 4 Supports FaceTime (Video Calling)

Steve Jobs’s WWDC 2010 “one more thing” surprise at today’s WWDC 2010 was that the new iPhone 4 will include FaceTime — a.k.a video calling.

FaceTime is a one-tap feature on the new iPhone that will work from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 via the native calling functionality. The feature is practically self-explanatory: Simply tap on the FaceTime button — located where the Hold button is now — to initiate a video call.

FaceTime is a Wi-Fi-only feature at launch, which means it will not work over AT&T’s 3G network or international carriers’ networks.

In spite of network limitations, FaceTime over Wi-Fi is quite remarkable and can switch seamlessly with a single click between the front and back cameras to change the camera perspective during a call. Apple designed the front-facing camera especially for video calls, which means it was built to focus on your face when you hold it at arm’s length. FaceTime also works in both landscape and portrait modes.

As mentioned above, FaceTime is a part of the standard calling functionality of iPhone 4, so no additional setup is required. The technology is also being released as an open industry standard, which means developers will be able to add FaceTime functionality to their applications.

We have a sneaking suspicion that this single feature will help to ensure that Apple sells large quantities of the new iPhone 4 once pre-orders become available on June 15, and when it hits store shelves on June 24.

Jetstar to trial rent-an-iPad service

Jetstar will launch a trial of of new in-flight entertainment system featuring the new iPad tablet computer.

The program will roll out later this month on on selected domestic routes across Australia.

The iPads will loaded up with in-flight entertainment such as videos, e-books, magazines, games and music. The devices will be rented out at a cost of $10.

"Given the demand for the iPad so far, I anticipate it will have strong appeal amongst our passengers," said Jetstar CEO Bruce Buchanan in a press release.


Jetstar is teaming up with the British company Bluebox Avionics and Stellar Inflight to implement the trial.

Bluebox has previously provided hardware and software for viewing content for in-flight entertainment systems.

The company says the system will even allows for the iPad to be used during take-off and landing, when other electronic devices have to be shut off.

With a screen size of 9.7-inches, the iPad is almost the exact dimension of many built-in entertainment units currently being used by airlines.

One game that probably won't be on offer is Flight Control, a game made by the Melbourne-based developer Firemint. The game requires players to land a number of planes without crashing them into one another.

A project of Sound Man Car Audio in Santa Clarita, CA, the installation video below shows the dock connector hook into an Onkyo ND-S1 Digital Media Transport, Audison Bit One D/A converter and, appropriately enough, a McIntosh amplifier.

Check out the video below to see the physical installation of the iPad as an entertainment hub in a Toyota Tacoma.
