1.) Does facetime work on wifi only? ie/ do you need a 3G connect and wifi, or just wifi?
2.) Can I share aps between ipads by using the same apple id, but then use a different apple id for gamecentre and facetime? (I called the apple store and they said yes, but I wanted to confirm with someone who may already be in the same situation).
I want to be able to share aps so I don't have to double purchase everything, but I still want to be able to communicate between the two with facetime.
Hope this makes sense, and let me know what you guys think? I haven't had much luck looking online, but the guy at the apple store said yes- just looking for a second opinion before we go drop a grand on electronic toys.

Wifi needed for Facetime, no 3G (or 4G) required that I am aware of. My wife's Wifi iPad2 does Facetime no problem.
I have never used facetime, but all our iDevices are on the same apple ID and the GameCenter and the Apple messaging uses the same ID. Not sure if you can change that or not, but it is kind of annoying, so let us know if you figure out a way around it. I assume Facetime would be the same, but it is not something i ever use so cannot be sure.
