With iOS 5 Beta 3, you can mirror your FaceTime call onto a larger display. This is very exciting news to all of my iPhone people as FaceTime is the cream of the cake in the smart phone industry. Just imagine in a year or so this will become a lot more normal that we see people through our phones. I can see this taking off in a business sense also because it will be cheaper for companies to use something like an iPhone to conduct organizational meetings than buy thousands of dollars worth of software when all you will need is a smart phone and a TV.
Here's a snippet of the Wired article:
For those anxiously awaiting that day, it’s almost here.
iPhone owners testing the new iOS 5 beta (version 3) discovered a new feature: AirPlay mirroring. If you’ve got an AirPlay-enabled device, you can mirror your FaceTime chat on a larger screen (like your TV).
FaceTime, a feature which was introduced with the iPhone 4, has gotten a lot of press since its debut. FaceTime is just one of many companies offering video conferencing software, including a dramatically revamped version of AIM and similar features on competing products. Between FaceTime and services like Skype, video chatting is quickly becoming the de facto way to stay in touch with friends.
