you're planning on splurging on a new iPhone next month shortly after the release of the company's newest iOS, you'll find something new on this iteration of Apple's wildly popular smartphone: video calling over FaceTime on the cellular network (as opposed to only Wi-Fi, as in previous versions).
FaceTime is of course a video conferencing software application and protocol developed by Apple for iOS-based devices and Mac computers running Mac OS X 10.6.6 and higher.
