Still waiting for the promise Apple made about opening the Facetime protocol during a Keynote in the Jobs era to be fulfilled.

What was the exact quote? I remember it as him saying that it's using open technology which it is. I think people misunderstood this.

Steve Jobs at the 2010 Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco: "We're going to the standards bodies, starting tomorrow, and we're going to make FaceTime an open industry standard."

People seem to forget how frequently Steve Jobs broke his promises to developers over the years.
