This entry, and the youtube link from Philippe Kahn appeared in my Facebook this morning, sent from an iPhone 4 via a satellite link.

Philippe Kahn FaceTime from the middle of the Pacific. Arthur and Peter, my MotionX colleagues are in the office in Santa Cruz, California and get video-taped doing FaceTime between Pete's iPhone 4 in Sant Cruz and my iPhone 4 in the middle of the Pacific Ocean one of the most isolated spots in the world. When it came up, it was like magic! To paraphrase Arthur Clarke, Great innovative technology and magic are literally indistinguishable. This is what the Camera-Phone was designed to do.
