Apple Inc. (Nasdaq:AAPL) recently released the new iPod Touch equipped with FaceTime, Retina Display, HD Video recording and Game Center.
Video calling is in full effect on iPod touch. Now your friends can see what you�re up to, when you�re up to it. With the tap of a button, you can wave �hi� while standing in a foreign country, get a second opinion on a pair of boots, or have your friends bear witness to the everyday pranks, bets, and dares they otherwise might have missed � new iPod touch to new iPod touch or iPhone 4 over Wi-Fi. And come face to face with even more fun.
Take �LOL� to the next level and actually see friends laughing. Or bring �XOXO� to life when you blow someone a kiss from miles away. FaceTime on iPod touch makes it possible. FaceTime works right out of the box � just enter your Apple ID and email address. Or create a new email account just for FaceTime. Using FaceTime is as easy as it gets. Say you want to start a video call with your best friend over Wi-Fi. Just tap the FaceTime app and find her entry to start the call. An invitation pops up on her iPod touch or iPhone 4 screen asking if she wants to join you. When she accepts, FaceTime begins. It�s all perfectly seamless. And it works in both portrait and landscape. See how much fun you can have.
iPod touch has two built-in cameras, one on the front above the display and one on the back. The front camera has been tuned for FaceTime. It has just the right field of view and focal length to focus on your face at arm�s length. So it always presents you in the best possible light. Which is particularly handy when you�re talking to someone who�s more than just a friend.
So your roommate had to work late and couldn�t make it to the concert. You can share the encore with a FaceTime call. As the band takes the stage and starts playing one of her all-time favorite songs, just tap a button. And before the lead singer can belt out his first note, iPod touch switches to the back camera and to the sure-to-be-legendary performance. Another tap switches to the front camera and to you. Simple, fast, and fun.
