Apple has apparently acquired the rights to the domain name FaceTime.com from its previous owner Actiance.

Strangely enough, at this point of time FaceTime.com is still running the Actiance website. Though the WhoIS records show that Apple owns the domain. Might be a DNS issue at our end.

It is not clear however if Apple has any plans to launch a web based edition of FaceTime in the future. They are however likely to redirect the domain to the FaceTime section on Apple.com for now.

Apple has just launched their second generation iPad Tablet PC which now features support for FaceTime video calling. FaceTime is already supported on the Apple iPhone and Mac OS X.
