Facetime and Video Call Matrix

Today Apple released Facetime for Mac OS, making it possible to have easy and H264 quality Video Calls between IPhones, IPods and Mac Desktops/Laptops.
besides the lack of Device Capability Discovery, meaning that you need to know who has support for it based on Trial and Error. Hard to believe for a 2010 Technology.
The moment also calls for attention of the extremely fragmented market of Video Call Clients Interoperability.

Current Status, October 2010:

Oct 2010

Prediction, January 2011:

Jan 2011

All the Buzz aside, Facetime still pretty limited, due:

• Strange Username/Device setup
• Confusion about device/contact support
• Lack of simple start/stop Video buttons
• 3G support
• Interoperability

I still hope a XMPP Jingle Based Messiah to come and solve the fragmentation and interoperability matters.
