I think people like the idea more than the actual feature, especially those with iPhones, who usually buy unlimited texting so texting will be the main messages source.
Since it's integrated right into Messages, it will probably be used by me much more than normal texts. A lot of my friends have iPhones.
I wish, It should be free. It sound sound exactly like BBM & It was really the only thing I loved it, Otherwise it was not like as I expected.
But that was all on 4.x.x still. with iMessages, you will be taking an iOS 5 feature and putting it on a lower firmware. Apple is not going to let it work for anything lower. ( I hope I am wrong though)
That would be awesome. While facetiming, pull the top bar down to reveal a messenger-type area to send a message to the person you're facetiming with.
Cool! But I doubt my friends are going to use this, because: 1. Those who DO have iPod Touches/iPhones almost NEVER use FaceTime 2. Most who DO own iPod Touches/iPhones have a BlackBerry with monthly/weekly subscription. I guess I'm still out of the loop. I can keep up with Twitter though.
