Steve Jobs and co. showed off all kinds of cool new features during the debut of iOS 5 at WWDC earlier this month.

Apple has added the ability to make FaceTime calls over 3G -- though rumor has it that this may be a beta-only feature, which carriers can choose to disable, over obvious data usage concerns.
