iPhone Airplay IOS 5 Beta 3

Are you green with iPhone envy? Apple has released two new iPhone 4 commercials that just might intensify those feelings. Focusing on AirPlay and FaceTime, the two ads continues with Apple's recent "if you don't have an iPhone" campaign, which highlights all the things people can't do without an iPhone 4.

"If you don't have an iPhone, you don't have FaceTime on your phone, which makes it this easy to talk face to face with another iPhone, this easy to talk with a Mac, and this easy to talk with an iPad. FaceTime: just one more thing that makes an iPhone and iPhone," a voiceover says as a hand demonstrates Apple's video-chatting feature.

iPhone maker Apple has dished out the iOS 5 Beta 3 for developers, which brings its AirPlay streaming service to FaceTime. AirPlay allows iOS users to stream content to connected televisions. Users would first have to purchase an AirPlay streaming device to stream videos to their TVs. Allowing AirPlay for FaceTime, will make it easier for users to stream the video chat on a TV.

There is no guarantee the feature will make it into the final version of iOS 5 since it has only surfaced in the beta 3 version. Of all the features of the iPhone 4, I have never once used FaceTime.
