Apple's FaceTime finally goes cellular, says so long to WiFi restrictions

[![Apple's FaceTime finally goes cellular, says so long to WiFi restrictions][1] ][2]

We've been waiting for it, and Apple surely took its sweet time to give it to us, but at [WWDC 2012][3], FaceTime was finally let loose from its WiFi bonds, leaving us all free to video chat over cellular data. This is great news for all those Apple fans who resolutely refused to use similar services from [Skype][4], [Tango][5], or [Google][6], that have been around for ages now. As for us? Well, we'd say it's better late than never.
