Rumour mill – FaceTime coming to Mac OS X and Windows?

Facetime could be set to break out from the iPhone to other platforms, maybe even making video calling popular...


Apple's video calling service FaceTime is rumoured to be coming to Mac OS X very soon, and possibly even Windows.

French site Mac4Ever claims that as well as iLife '11 nearing launch, FaceTime may be coming to iChat on Mac and Windows.

After the launch of FaceTime where Steve Jobs essentially claimed that Apple had invented video calling, the move could finally mean people actually find a use for the service. We assume that it would tie in with iChat on the Mac, and it's possible that a version of iChat could be made for Windows.

Do you (or have you ever) used FaceTime? Was is any good, or do you still think it's just a gimmick? Let us know.

 Something even more dangerous to hold in your hand while driving than a standard mobile.

Maybe we need a large "video call enabled" flashing light on cars of drivers so equipped so the rest of us can steer clear?

 I have never used this useless feature. Can't talk to oher non-apple phones on 3G.

 Forgive my ignorance as I've never used it, but how does it differ from other forms of video chat?

 I have no idea. I always thought Skype already did this...

 My wife and I tried it out when we first got our new iPhones. We were sitting next to each other and after about 30 seconds agreed it was a silly gimmick if you could only use over WiFi.
