FaceTime on the iPad2
iPad 2 was designed with a front and rear camera strictly for the use of FaceTime.
You’ll see two cameras on iPad — one on the front and one on the back. They may be tiny, but they’re a big deal. They’re designed for FaceTime video calling, and they work together so you can talk to your favorite people and see them smile and laugh back at you.3 The front camera puts you and your friend face-to-face. Switch to the back camera during your video call to share where you are, who you’re with, or what’s going on around you. When you’re not using FaceTime, let the back camera roll if you see something movie-worthy. It’s HD, so whatever you shoot is a mini-masterpiece. And you can take wacky snapshots in Photo Booth. It’s the most fun a face can have.
Starting a FaceTime call is simple, just find your contact name in your address book tap on the FaceTime button next to the name. This sends an invitation to the contacts iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4, or Mac computer asking them if they want to join the FaceTime call. When accepted, the call begins and the contacts face pops up on the screen.
The addition of 2 HD cameras on the iPad 2 will surely be a huge selling point. It’s something iPad fans have wanted since the launch of the original iPad.
