“One Video Message Is Worth 1000 Voicemails” – Motorola Launches Video Mail for the Ojo™ Personal Video Phone
SCHAUMBERG, Ill. – 25 July 2005 – Leave a message and don’t forget to smile! Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) tonight introduced Ojo Video Mail – a new way to stay connected to the ones you love – for the popular Motorola Ojo™ Personal Video Phone.
With Ojo Video Mail, you’ll never miss another video call. A new twist on the old answering machine idea, this new feature lets you record a personalized video greeting that callers automatically receive when you’re not available to answer your Ojo Personal Video Phone. Callers can then record a video message, which Ojo will save for you to playback later on. A new menu item on the Ojo main screen shows when you have messages waiting and how many, and a simple push of a button lets you view saved messages at your convenience.
Like live video calls made through the Motorola Ojo, Video Mail offers high-quality video with synchronized audio. So whether it’s a baby’s first tooth or a simple call to say “I Love You,” Ojo Video Mail will capture the moment in real time and save it for whenever you are ready.
Ojo Video Mail will be available on the Ojo Personal Video Phone later this summer. The feature will be downloaded automatically to existing Ojo users, who will see the new feature on their Ojo main screen as soon as Video Mail has been added.
The Motorola Ojo is the first true-to-life video phone to provide Video Mail, a feature which perfectly complements the face-to-face conversations that consumers are already having with the product. The Motorola Ojo works over any high-speed Internet connection, and is designed to keep friends, family and co-workers seamlessly connected.
Motorola worked with WorldGate Communications (NASDAQ: WGAT, www.wgate.com), a leading developer of video telephony technologies, to bring the Ojo Personal Video Phone to market. WorldGate’s patented industrial design and patent-pending innovations for Ojo include a state-of-the-art optimization of the advanced MPEG-4 coding standard (H.264), which enables transmission of 30 frames-per-second video with synchronized audio at data rates as low as 100 Kbps. This allows the Motorola Ojo to work within the upstream data rates for both DSL and cable broadband networks, and ensures that existing broadband infrastructures can handle video phone traffic.
Currently, the Motorola Ojo™ Personal Video Phone (Model PVP1000) carries an MSRP of $799.99 and a $14.95 monthly service fee. To order Motorola Ojo or find a retailer in your area that carries the product, visit www.motorola.com/ojo.
