Continuing the article about the iPad 2 tablet review some time ago, this article we will discuss all things about Facetime in iPad 2. How to activate it, and what we can do.
As we understand, together, this feature is a killer app that staying able to attract market attention. With the presence of cameras in this new iPad, then we can interact between users iPad 2, iPhone 4 and Mac face to face wherever located.
The application first appeared along with the launch of the new Apple phone when it is, the iPhone 4. This feature is considered as Apple\'s answer to a similar feature in 3G phones. But not Apple\'s name if only plucks ideas other applications without any modification.
In contrast to video call which became one of the 3G services, Facetime deliberately not made to run on cellular pathways. Some suspect it was intentionally done Apple for playing it safe, eliminating the `external factors\' causing air-quality pullback videocall. So, Facetime can only be used via the WiFi. (Except if you have an iPhone 4 dijailbreak).
By walking in the path of the WiFi connection will be relatively stable and the quality of the talks would be better than using the 3G.
The story continues and the iPad 2 came out carrying the same features. The only advantage is the width of the screen that will be more satisfying when you really want up to do with Facetime. Even with the same resolution (VGA) will not appear on the screen as wide as it is solid.
So how do I use it?
1. Facetime access through its application icon.
2. Enter your Apple ID. Email on your Apple ID will be some sort of alias ID Facetime phone number to be reached from any other device. Meaning is different from the iPhone 4 Facetime using phone number attached to the device.
3. If you do not have, or want to differentiate with accounts registered in the Macbook for example, just make. Click on create new account. Enter accurate data in the columns that appear.
4. If you\'ve signed in, you will find a page where the contact\'s name will be on the right side. If your iPad 2 has been no contact, click the plus sign to include Facetime email your friends and family.
5. Click the contact to connect Facetime.
What can we do at Facetime?
A. You can move the small screen (which is a preview of the display we had seen the other person) to all corners of the screen for video calls better. But you can not eliminate them.
B. You can change the position of the screen, just rotate iPad from portrait to landscape or vice versa. This is very useful if you intend to bring more people in one camera at a time.
C. You can press the home button to open another application. Speech (voice) with the speaker will still take place, just on the other side, you are considered middle pause Facetime. You can resume it by touching the green bar above the home screen.
D. You can change the camera used for the other person displayed on the screen by touching the camera switch button (far right camera image with arrows on both sides).
TIPS Improving Quality Facetime
1. Make sure you start using Facetime in a room full of light. Or at least enough lah. Because if you do it in the room light, the image will be seen with noise.
2. Use the WiFi signal path and use the most powerful high-speed internet provider.
3. If your face is too big for Facetime. Try using landscape orientation
