There are already a bunch of competitors, including Packet8 and Viseon. They suck. I agree new ones will pop up.. but only Ojo has Motorola's back
The existing low-end competitors (they go for $100-$300) will position the Ojo as a high-end luxury item that is superior to the rest of the garbage out there. The iPod, for example, is selling like hot potatoes at $300 a pop while $40 alternatives are out there.
Besides, Motorola is already offering $100 and $300 worth of discounts RIGHT NOW. The price for the consumer will be much cheaper once they partner with phone/satelite companies.
I think that new versions of the Ojo (especially the Wireless version) will feature a more trendy design (uhm, Motorola Razr, uhm), although I think the Ojo looks very cool and much better than the current competitors' ugly phones.
