I don't know if it is a new thing with this version of the iPhone (5), but one of the features that is just a neat as a pocket on your shirt is this thingy called FaceTime. It allows you to video conference with other iPhone users.

My daughter called me the other evening and when I answered the phone... there she was on the screen! Just like on The Jetsons.

I guess that sort of thing is doable with Skype or other methods, but I just think that it's pretty doggone slick. Since she lives so far away, we don't get to see her (or her pup) very often, so I'm just tickled about this feature on this phone. Very simple and seamless.
