iOS 5 features: AirPlay Mirroring for FaceTime

iOS 5 features: AirPlay Mirroring for FaceTime

iOS 5 beta 3 seems to have enabled another feature — AirPlay mirroring for FaceTime. If this makes it into the final release — and not everything does — it’ll be fantastic for families and businesses alike.

The ability to easily start a video call and beam it onto the big screen is compelling. Whether it’s grandpa and grandma, or the team in England, it takes FaceTime from a small, personal experience to a big, group experience at the touch of a button.

I snuck out to a developer friend’s place to try it out, and yeah. Magical.
