Facetime for Mac is now $0.99

  Your title is confusing... Facetime for mac has just appeared, right? To say it's "now $0.99" doesn't make sense to me, unless I'm missing something. But yes, why the hell are they charging for facetime at all?

    My guess is it will be included with new Macs for free going forward, and only costs for existing Macs. Not sure, though, and doesn't seem to be a wise decision to charge for it in my opinion.

    Facetime "beta" was free.

  $0.99 is nothing really, if you've already bought into the Apple ecosystem. It's just a nice way to drive people into the app store and make sure they have a credit card on file :)

  The beta was free and now the release is 99 cents. Kind of silly really, considering it amounts to a hill of beans to Apple in revenue. Facetime functionality should have been built into iChat instead of a separate, lame app that does nothing else. Oh well.
