The latest i Phone captures video that's fine for another i Phone's 3.5-inch display.The i Pad 2's 9.7-inch display must scale up video from the i Phone's camera, and the result is scratchy, pixelated video on the tablets's screen.When you pull up a contact with an active Face Time account, Face Time appears with options to text, call, or e-mail that person.You can also switch a voice phone call to Face Time via a large button overlaid on the screen during active calls.
You'll also want to remember to turn on Wi-Fi since Face Time doesn't work on AT&T or Verizon's 3G networks.

In typical Apple fashion, the controls are elegantly simple.
