I guess Apple really made some impressive marketing impression onto many people. Few years ago when Nokia roll out dozens of video-calling capable phones, nobody actually go and have fun around with it, calling their friends from any weird places. It’s as if video call didn’t exist yet. But now with Apple FaceTime, all of a sudden everyone’s FaceTime-ing their friends, from every odd corner of the world.

Check out this video of a FaceTime call, from the oddest place of all, the ocean, where there’s totally no radio coverage and no free Wi-Fi for you to leech. Video calling from an isolated oceanic point, done by the Pegasus crew that’s embarking the Pacific Cup 2010 en route to Hawaii from San Francisco. It was halfway between SF and Honolulu, where there’s no land within 1,000 miles, and the captain fire up his FaceTime using satellite connection, and show the mainland crew the conditions.
