FaceTime for Mac Beta Now Available

Apple has launched FaceTime for Mac, allowing you to make video calls not just to other Macs, but to the 4 million FaceTime-enabled iPhone 4 and iPod touch users. And get this: You’ll be able to download a beta version today.
The features look pretty basic. You just click on a contact and it instantly makes a FaceTime call. Once you’re on the phone with them, a simple video window shows them in either landscape or portrait mode, depending on how they’re orienting their device.
If your contact flips his or her phone into landscape mode, the image will flip on your screen immediately. It’s a nifty effect.
Beta releases sometimes have bugs, but if you’re curious enough to check it out, the beta app will appear at Apple’s website (apple.com) sometime later today. No word on when the non-beta release will come yet, but we’ll keep you posted.
