Hey, Apple! How about a Windows and Android compatible version of Facetime?

If you have an Apple iPad you have FaceTime on your device. It is a great app and much improved over the more widely used Skype or the less well-known Oovoo. All are applications allow the user to chat with someone else face to face. The resolution of FaceTime is clearer and there is less of a time lag than experienced on Skype. I sometimes feel like I am watching one of those martial arts movies that is poorly dubbed into English. Skype works on any platform and is fine for what it does and I have used it many times with my students at night for review sessions. Oovoo is along the same lines. But, once you try FaceTime you will see it is a better product. Here is the problem...FaceTime only works on Apple devices. So if you want to talk to someone on another type of device you are out in the cold. So my plea is to Apple to start thinking about the Android and Windows users out there who could use and enjoy FaceTime. I know that Apple's policy is to be stingy with its hardware and software but it has made exceptions in the past, iTunes is downloadable onto almost any device and any platform. Maybe Apple has not done this with FaceTime because the Apple big guns don't see the opportunity to make any money. But, hey Apple, it would be a great PR move and I am sure there is some way you could figure out how to squeeze some money out of the project. Give us an alternative to Skype that is easy to use and a clear improvement.
