Annie Walker is on a mission when her sister places a “call” to her. “Ring, Ring Ring” goes Annie’s iPad. She answers and the conversation ensues.

But wait one second… they’re using Skype??? Say what? Seriously Annie? Skype? Sure it works well enough but for my money I’ll always take FaceTime over Skype.

    Yeah, but Skype works on Annie’s iPad when she’s using the 3G connection.  Facetime requires WiFi, does it not?
