I was able to sign into the Airtime application on FaceBook and display a list of friends. But I was not able to test the audio-video transmission because no one was online. But I proved it does run within the BlackBerry PlayBook web browser.
From the Airtime website FAQ: "Airtime currently does not support mobile devices or tablet computers."
Airtime works with the BlackBerry PlayBook as I have confirmed. Maybe Alex should let Airtime know...then again they might decide to block the BlackBerry PlayBook like a few other organizations.

After watching the promo video on their site I'm a little concerned this will be just as scary as Chat Roulette. Anonymous people can start chatting with you? I hope there's a filter to limit that. Aside from the threat of seeing random peoples "junk" it could be interesting.
How is the performance of this app on our playbooks? Is there lag? What is the audio quality?
The only problem with Airtime is that is doesn't help you meet new people. Also is useless if your friends are not on Facebook, or people you want to meet don't have a Facebook account.
How about Airtime allow people to login/signup without a Facebook account?
Guess no one read the article you linked.... They record your video calls , but won't look at the recordings unless someone reports you for showing your junk
Today, a new era in video chat launched with Airtime, AKA, Facebook connected Chatroulette without gross dicks. Sean Parker and Shawn Fanning promised us no dicks, but how exactly can they promise us no dicks? Turns out Airtime is recording you�and if you're flashing your , it's recording that, too.
Maybe we should've known that, as with Facebook, privacy concerns would arise sooner or later from the new startup. By linking the account to your Facebook account, all of the anonymizing fun of Chatroulette is suddenly gone. Bad because parts of your identity will be known, but good because, well, considerably fewer dicks�and the company really wants to make sure it stays that way. That's why they want to record your information, at least according to the company's privacy policy. Check out this excerpt taken from section 3, How is my information stored?:
Airtime provides a place for social interaction via live video and text chat and it provides you with the opportunity to create, submit, post, display, transmit, perform, publish, distribute or broadcast ("Post") User Content. Any User Content you Post is subject to the guidelines provided in our Terms of Use and you should note that we reserve the right to report any potentially illegal behavior on our Service to the authorities. By using our Service, you are consenting to have your image and conversations recorded by Airtime. Airtime is taking snapshots of User Content may review User Content to maintain site safety and ensure a good user experience.
And how long is that information stored? Forever.
In theory if you're never mischevious, and nobody ever reports you, Airtime may never review what you've been doing with the service. But still, it's stored somewhere. That's pretty creepy for a company trying to keep people from doing creepy things. [Airtime via Business Insider]
Grr I was super exited about this till I found out that they were recording me......The funny/sad thing is that when I heard what facebook was doing I wasn't suprised

It is an app that runs off your Facebook. Not from Facebook. But it would be good to stop teens from doing stupid things on cam.
