FaceTime comes to the Mac

Buried in the news reports coming from Apple's "Back to the Mac" announcements of new MacBook Air models and a preview of Lion and iLife '11 is word that FaceTime is now available for the Mac in Public Beta.

Install is simple, and FaceTime integrates with your Address Book contacts to make calling easy.

Of course, the first person I called was... ME!

The significance of course is that the desktop for Mac client effectively quadruples the number of FaceTime-ready devices, as all iMacs, MacBooks, MacBook Airs, etc. running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.4 or later) potential clients.
