what's up everyone John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo here one of the most compelling new features in the iPhone 4 is that little guy right there the front-facing camera which is tied into Apple's new FaceTime video chat software so I want to give you a Democrat all receive a call switch to FaceTime and vice versa and this is only going to function if you are on a Wi-Fi network so I've got one of my viewers and regular callers to live in show Tony marlo here I'm going to go ahead and give him a call and see how this looks I'm going to call him normally first and you see when I make the call that there's now a new FaceTime little icon right there I'll put on speaker it's just a regular phone call hi Tony Oh Tony are you there perfect so you can see right now we've got the regular row of icon but we're used to say hold you now have a FaceTime video camera so I go ahead and push that we're going to see eight a video call to Tony to be able to see me you guys can see me they're sort of on camera and the front-facing camera is actually not bad the VGA resolution looks pretty decent now it says connecting and there you can see Tony and Tony won't you wave your hand a little bit and say say hello to the audience people can see R the quality alright so you can see the quality Tony looks pretty good Tony move the camera around a little bit so you can see how it looks sort of show the background alright perfect you can see that things actually look pretty nice and you can switch front facing the back facing in the bottom right hand corner there's a little icon and go ahead and switch that Tony just did it I can switch that right there now it's looking at my office in the desk you can also take this phone and switch it over and switch landscapes and now you can see sort of another icon another view and I can actually pick this right here and I can move it anywhere I want so I can pick the views and say I want to go back to the front facing but Tony has got a much better view than I do and then there I am right back so Tony I'm going to hang up from you right now and you can guys can hear by the way that this is now over voice over IP or VoIP and the quality is very good and when you switch to FaceTime it's a seamless transition it actually does not use your 80 minutes so Tony I'm going to ask you to now to give me a call and see how this works so I'm going to hang up from you and go ahead and give me a ring back over a standard phone call will switch over to FaceTime so Tony's going to give me a call back here is the home screen again on the iPhone 4 and we'll see how this looks when you receive a call and you switch to FaceTime then I'll have Tony call me directly from FaceTime slurries regular call so there's Tony I'm gonna put him on speaker Tony are you there alright now go ahead and to add FaceTime we can see how long this takes so tell me when you push it alright so you can sort of see the time so would like to FaceTime and Kate accept or decline go ahead and accept it and takes probably another 3 or 4 seconds and there we go so about four to five seconds overall which is pretty fast and now we are seamless transition over a Wi-Fi to FaceTime so Tony now I'm going to call you back right over FaceTime directly and not go through the 18t route and see how that works so go ahead and close out of there and now if I want to call somebody that's got FaceTime I can go ahead and either initiate a FaceTime or they make sure his numbers not going to show up here when I do it so I can go right - right - Tony I'm going to cover up his phone number here but when you go ahead and select a contact you're not gonna have a new icon my phone keeps raining here now we have a new icon that says FaceTime so let me show you again what that looks like so there it is right there it says FaceTime so I'm going to go ahead and call Tony directly from FaceTime so now we're sort of getting the AT&T proud of this we're just using the voice over IP Wi-Fi client and now here we are Tony now Tony Allman asked you to call me directly over FaceTime if you don't mind all right and then we can sort of see what that looks like as well so there's a FaceTime would like to FaceTime accepted recline looks pretty standard and now we will be connected in just a few seconds over FaceTime in theory there we are Tony thank you very much hoping to demonstration I appreciate it bye-bye all right so that was a demonstration of FaceTime the new video chat application for the iPhone 4 it looks to be very useful I'm actually very very surprised about how crisp and clear the video quality actually is it's not for that pixelated thing that I expected so things probably can depend on the strength of your Wi-Fi network where I am right here evidently where Tony was things work very nicely so whenever your iPhone 4 is come be sure to get your video chat on any other features that you guys want to see demonstrate on the iPhone 4 be sure to let me know and stay tuned to the channel youtube.com slash John for Lakers and TechnoBuffalo comm for all of your tech news and for exclusive content share check me out at Twitter twitter.com slash John for Lakers I am John Rhett endure and I will see you in the next video
