FaceTime for Mac makes it easy to talk, smile and laugh with friends and family on their iPhone 4, iPad 2, iPod touch or Mac. Getting started is quick and easy — simply enter your Apple ID and you're ready to go. Whether you're talking to someone on an iPhone or on another Mac, video calls with FaceTime look great. There's no better way to keep all your favorite faces just a click away.
Simple to Get Started
• Setup is quick and easy – just enter your Apple ID.
• With just one click, you can make a video call to an iPhone 4, iPad 2, iPod touch, or another Mac.
Easy-to-Organize Contacts

• Receive HD video calls at up to 720p on supported, Intel-based Macs.*
• A Mac with a standard-definition camera delivers up to VGA-quality video for Mac-to-Mac calls.
Elegant Interface
• Window and playback controls fade away so the focus stays on your conversation.
• View transitions smoothly when an iPhone 4, iPad 2, or iPod touch user switches from front to rear cameras or from portrait to landscape views.
• FaceTime's widescreen aspect ratio makes it easy for families and groups to participate in a call.
• Enjoy your video call full screen, using every inch of your beautiful Mac display.
Ring Anywhere, Any Time
• Incoming calls ring on your Mac, even if FaceTime isn’t running.
• If you have more than one Mac, incoming calls ring on every one so you can answer on the Mac that’s most convenient.
*Video calls require a built-in FaceTime camera, an iSight camera (built-in or external), a USB video class (UVC) camera, or a FireWire DV camcorder; and a 128-Kbps upstream and downstream Internet connection. Making HD video calls requires a built-in FaceTime HD camera and a 1-Mbps upstream and downstream Internet connection. Receiving HD video calls requires a supported Intel-based Mac.

Customer Reviews
Great App - And yes! It works!
When I purchased an iPod Touch for my daughter, I set up Facetime but felt bad because her friends do not have iPods. But then, when I downloaded this app for my MacBook Pro, I thought I would surprise her and give it a shot. It worked great.
The real surprise was when she was at a friends house and she took the initiative to call me on Facetime to let me know where she was... Now that's cool. So while others complain about this App, I have to give it a positive thumbs-up.
Works fine.
Not sure what all the negative reviews are. I put this on my MacBook Pro and turned on the feature on my iPhone 4. Connected each way in about a min once I figured out how to make the call. The video is not razor sharp but very workable. For a buck it is more than worth it. For those that think this should be free, well I supose that is true or they could have made this part of iChat but come on, a dollar? That is nothing. Get the app if you want to video chat computer to iPhone 4. For computer to computer there are free programs like Skype that will do the job just as well.
The FUTURE
When comparing the video quality to skype, I was glad I payed the dollar to get FaceTime's 720p! I had absolutely no connection problems......download and enjoy!!!
