A FaceTime Call from the Pacific Ocean
Sure we've seen some pretty impressive uses for FaceTime from inside the U.S., but some people are stretching the limits of the iPhone 4 by placing a FaceTime call from the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Separated by a thousand miles of water, Philippe Kahn who is racing to Honolulu, Hawaii in the 2010 Pacific Cup, placed a FaceTime call to his colleges in Santa Cruz, California.
Using a simple Wi-Fi internet connection through satellite, the FaceTime call is clear but not without some issues like video stuttering. You can see the complete video (embedded below) and a full description of the FaceTime call on the Pegasus Racing website. Now if only Apple would make a FaceTime commercial about this.
