FaceTime Over 3G Comes to Jailbroken iPhone 4s
Hot on the heels of this weekend's release of the JailbreakMe Web-based jailbreak tool for iOS devices, users with jailbroken iPhone 4s can now think about installing My3G from Intelliborn, which was just updated to enable FaceTime video calling over 3G connections.
My3G essentially tricks a user's phone into thinking it is on Wi-Fi instead of 3G, allowing users to access a number of features and types of content typically restricted to Wi-Fi connections. My3G is typically available to jailbroken iPhones via Rock Your iPhone for $3.99, but the site is currently down due to the high traffic load.
9 to 5 Mac has posted a video briefly showing off FaceTime over 3G in action.

There is a reason AT&T doesn't allow it on 3G, because their network is not good enough to support the bandwidth. All this does is pull down the network for the rest of us. :mad:

Good lord that's tempting. But I only just got my iPhone today so doing this already would be a bad idea haha.

I think Apple's really going to have to keep up with Jailbroken tech now

Well, it's reasonable. It's a bit shaky, but hey it works! :)
Apple will keep up.

Well, Apple is already doing that (look at multitasking or having a wallpaper as a background). What they'll probably do by the end of 2010 is support 3G FaceTime calls, but just at a lower quality. So like instead of 640×480 it's going to be 320×240 or something like that.Apple will keep up.
