The Ojo is OUT! Motorola started taking orders 30 minutes ago

Only Scottrade for me

wtf? You broke tradition....tisk tisk tisk. Your post SHOULD have said 100 oJO's

You are assuming that large companies don't make bad investments... That is silly I think I (even being on GFY) can say these sort of things because a) I work in telecom with startup companies, and b) I've seen *extremely* large corporations in telecom back companies that they shouldn't have (one I used to work for in fact).

Motorola is a *giant* company... WGAT has a market cap of 152 million dollars This is just a VC bet to Motorola, no big loss if it fucks up on their end. On your end, as an investor in the small company, the loss is real.

If you are rich enough to make giant bets, then run with it! It might pay off. But, then again, you might lose it all.

What in the world are you talking about!

I mean, sure, they could buy them.. but where are you pulling 1:1 from? That simply makes no sense.

I don't know how many shares of WGAT there are, but I have to imagine there are many millions (since one insider alone holds 5 million). Let's say for discussion that there are 100 million shares. If the company was deemed to be worth 100 million dollars, then each share would get a buck. That's how it works. Not.. "Well, we really like you so we will just give you one share of our stock for each of yours, it's easier that way"

That stock took a beating again today. Down another 4%.

The market in general has taken a dump lately. Down to just over 10k? god damn. At least its up a bit from a few days ago. 1157.

if anyone sends me a buyer for free-ojo.com I'll give you 10% of the sale

Down and down and down she goes...

Great buying opportunities for newcomers. My cost avg so far is $3.8, so I'm still holding them tight. Maybe I should have sold at $6 and come back later - but then again - I don't have a crystal ball. IMHO this is a *great* long-term position and will not be surprised to see double-digits within a month or two after the Ojo is at your local Ultimate Electronics shop. There are enough companies to daytrade with their shares, and I'm not doing so with WGAT.

http://www.wallst.net/ interviewed the CEO today. "Is Ojo An End Game For Telephony?" on the front page. Check it out. It will answer your questions over the past week.

Ojos on the shelves at retailers within a few weeks.

Are Video Phones the Next iPod?

Talking about the "high ticket price" issue.

Well, the difference between an Ojo and a Motorola Razr, is that you can use a Razrs features to talk to most of your friends. There is already a market for cellphones, there isn't an existing market for VOIP video phones. It's a bad analogy.

What these guys need is a partnership with someone like Vonage or another company that is pushing VOIP bigtime. I'm not sure what the Ojo $15/month fee is for... are they trying to become a VOIP company themselves too? (I hope not). Azguy: any ideas on what thats for?

With all my negativity towards this company, I *do* think you will see a nice pop whenever they *really* ship these things. When you can go to a store and buy one, the hype alone will drive the price up. (not that this makes the price sustainable).

I might get into a small position in a day or two just to play day trader for a bit.

Award-Winning Features

The Consumer Electronics Association honored the Motorola Ojo Personal Video Phone with a "2005 Best of Innovations in Design and Engineering" award for simplifying the complex technology of video telephony. Here are five key features of the Motorola Ojo Personal Video Phone:

FULL MOTION VIDEO -- Motorola Ojo captures and sends full motion video at
30 frames per second, motion that's near broadcast-TV quality. Your voice
remains synchronized to your image, even as the transmission travels over
the Internet.

INNOVATIVE DESIGN -- The innovative, stylish and functional design makes
it a perfect addition to any room in the home, from the kitchen to the
office. The elevated (eye-level), portrait-oriented LCD digital display
(7"diagonal) and camera placement create an experience that is natural and
true-to-life.

ON-SCREEN CONTROLS -- The on-screen menu system makes it easy to make
calls and manage your phone numbers. You can attach an image to any
contact in the phone book, so you can "dial by face," or get picture
caller ID when Ojo rings. During calls, the display features a small self-
viewer, to see how you are positioned in front of the camera, and know
exactly what the other party is viewing.

INTEGRATED CORDLESS PHONE -- Use the integrated cordless handset to make
voice-only calls using either the public service telephone network (PSTN)
or a voice-over-IP (VoIP) network(1). Motorola Ojo also includes a high-
quality, full-duplex speaker phone.

EASY SET-UP -- Motorola Ojo easily connects to your high-speed Internet
and telephone lines and is immediately ready to send or receive calls.
There are no user names, passwords, or logon procedures to learn.

Motorola worked with WorldGate Communications (Nasdaq: WGAT, http://www.wgate.com), a leading developer of video telephony technologies, to bring the Ojo Personal Videophone to market. WorldGate's 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 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.

The Motorola Ojo(TM) Personal Video Phone (Model PVP1000) carries an MSRP of $799.99(2). Monthly service fees apply. To order Motorola Ojo, visit http://www.motorola.com/ojo .

(1) Residential PSTN or voice-over-IP telephone service is required for
voice-only calls.

(2) Residential broadband service is required for video telephony calls.
A monthly service fee of $14.95 is required to send and receive video
calls.

Damn, I was gonna join Scottrade and just toss a hundred bucks onto the stock as my first trade, but you need a $500 balance to start and I don't have that much in that account right now.

Boo..

Haven't videophones been around a few times already? How is this different?

wow, now that it's out and the press release broke look at that stock jump

let's see what happens now

It won't sell any big numbers, it's too early, too complicated, too much.

That's why you will buy the stock at $60 instead of $4 People like you missed on Intel, Microsoft, and all the rest

It actually works this time.

http://broadband.motorola.com/consumers/products/ojo/
http://www.wgate.com/

Doesn't matter The new money will come, people are just waiting to actually see it in a store or getting an actual figure as far as the demand / early sales are concerned. I don't mind waiting. If Motorola is serious about it, so am I.

I'm taking offers on my oJO domains ICQ me

Motorola just updated the Ojo website. The new site has much more information than it used, including the much-needed FAQ section and the Ojo specs & manuals. You can already place orders online.

As you may know, the Ojo is already available as of last week at a few high-end retailers as part of Motorola's soft-launch strategy.

WGAT's days as a single-digit stock are numbered, IMHO. I'm patient.

It seems to me like some 500 or so Ojo-related domains were registered in the past month alone.. LOL. I got about 50 of them. Ojos will be HOT, especially when the demand for Ojo live porn is here.

OjoBlog.com is almost ready...

Good luck domain owners / investors

Thats the part I *really* don't understand. WTF do you guys think is going to happen that you will want OJO domains? It's a fucking telephone! The domains I've seen listed aren't even good if there was a big demand for some ungodly reason

On the other hand, you did get a nice bump the past few days. Looks like you reached some support at 4 bucks so that's good.

Good luck Azguy.

Thats great but I can never see myself as a video phone person.

$4K was already offered to me for FreeOjo.com, and today I sold another Ojo domain for $500 to cover my costs. LOL. Sure, no money whatsoever It's just another way to invest in the next hot industry.

And thanks btw

Ojo will be the industry standard if everything happens as I hope it will.. it won't be "just" a phone, it will be an integral part of our lives in a few years (Ojo me in the 3 years and we'll see )

It just takes time to get used to it IMHO. There are so many applications for it - from live phone sex to seeing the kids every morning, who are in the custody of the ex-wive. Ojo is HOT.

Again, I secured ~ 55 domains and sold one today for $500 which covered most of the expenses for the rest, so I don't worry.. I basically got them all for free. I really like Ojo and I'm a BIG believer and continusouly research and discuss it with others, so wouldn't mind spending a weekend or two developing OjoBlog.com or OjoGuide.com just for fun.

This whole thread is a bad joke.

You're just so used to being late to benefit from any innovation that you don't know how it feels to be an early adopter. Sure, it's a bad joke. LOL.

azguy can you point me in the direction of some buyers for ojO domains? I'd give ya a finders fee if he/she buys

anyone want cheapojos.com?

Post them on Yahoo Finance WGAT board. I had 2 people contact me from there.. not a bad place to start. I'd wait, no point in selling now

ditto i got freeojo.net

guys, ojoretailers.com, discountojo.com, discountojos.com, ojoforfree.com, ojosforfree.com are available if anyone wants them.

I seriously think some 500 Ojo domains were registered so far. Gotta love trends! Good luck everyone, and good night!

GetOjo.com

oh, and i mean available to register, not for sale.

Just to keep those interested up to date - WGAT is about to release 1Q earnings on May 16th followed by a conference call the next morning.

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050510/phtu066.html

lol my mobile phone does the same.. kinda annoying to look at mother in law when she calls!

Update for those interested: the Ojo is now available at Amazon - it's in stock.

My ojO domains are still up for grabs!
