Apple today announced the release of FaceTime 1.0, the first major release of their application that allows Mac users to video call iPhone 4 and iPod touch users as well as other Macs. The software had previously been in beta since October of last year, but those days are over now. New features in this release include support for HD video and the ability to add and edit contacts from within the application, instead of needing to launch Address Book separately.

FaceTime for Mac makes it easy to talk, smile and laugh with friends and family on their iPhone 4, iPod touch or Mac. Getting started is quick and easy - simply enter your Apple ID and you're ready to go. Whether you're talking to someone on an iPhone or on another Mac, video calls with FaceTime look great. There's no better way to stay in touch with all your favorite faces.

FaceTime 1.0 is available now through the Mac App Store for .99 cents. All you need is Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later. Buyers of the new MacBook Pro will get the application for free pre-installed on their system.

Here is a bit more misinformation.

There's no better way to stay in touch with all your favorite faces.

There is, and other options are Fring and Skype.

ALL for FREE and NOT at a cost of $0.99 from Apple.

Another rip off by Apple.

Facetime comes standard on ipod touch from 2010.
