Facetime

[arttext]

Another lesson learned! Yesterday I tried setting up Facetime. As it turned out it refused to do so with any of my current Apple ID's. It only worked after I set up a new account. That having shared, any experiences regarding using Facetime versus Skype video in terms of video quality?

I agree with this:

Well, I think that answers my Q. So in terms of video quality FT definitely looks better. The other arguments don't bother me much since Skype is also present on my iPad and hence the backup app of choice for non apple friends. I emphazise here "Apple" since recently FT is also available for any Mac! I am right now trying to convince some of my Mac friends to install it.
