Make video calls across the mobile gadget divide, from intuitive smartphones, tablets and notebooks- what video chat app should you go for? And can fully give you you're needed face time?
The champion videochat app on desktops is definitely Skype followed by GoogleTalk video and Yahoo Messenger Video Chat.
If you have an Apple device- iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad- then you're all set with FaceTime. Its pre-installed, runs on the iOS, Mac OS X platform and works well on MacBooks. In terms of features, its very user-friendly, easy to navigate and quite reliable in keeping the video chat going. No drop calls or annoying lag times. It also has the best video quality, so tell your chatmate to have that photogenic smile ready. The only downside to this- its exclusively for Apple devices. None of that 3G support, WIFI only. Expects some pixelation if you're using an iPad and you're trying to chat up someone on the iPhone. And yeah, no group video chats. Bummer.
