1-877-FOR MY OJO

https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/453649-fellow-gfyers-dont-miss-hot-revolution.html

This is going to be a sweet ride. Bought WGAT @ $3.9 and later on more @ ~ $4.5 and some more @ $4.8.

The WorldGate/Motorola Ojo is OUT NOW. Motorola has a Conference Call scheduled for tomorrow, hopefully the Ojo will be mentioned. Double-digit share price is days away. Don't say I didn't tell you

Good luck!

azguy · 04-19-2005, 05:13 PM

Currently accomodating only the pre-orders (those who signed up on Motorola's website). This is going to be huge, don't be left out.

tranza · 04-19-2005, 05:17 PM

Looking good....

Furious_Male · 04-19-2005, 05:21 PM

I wonder how long before they can be sold via an affiliate program of some sorts.

Between all the day trading with WGAT in the past 4 weeks I'm in 70% profit, and am now switching to long-term mode. This is a $40 stock trading at $5... freakin free money.

I'd be delighted to hear which ones you have.

In regards to Ojo 2, I wonder if they wouldn't have thought to risk $10 to lock down ojo2.com at the earliest moment if they were at all confident in the chances of producing an Ojo 2. Nevertheless, we will see.

Just spoke to Motorola's other Ojo purchase line (1-877-466-8646) and was told they have been getting HUNDREDS of calls since the word on the pre-order came out (2-3 hours ago)... Holy shit

That Ojo phone's design actually looks like they took a step backwards. What's with the size of this thing and all the buttons. I'll guarantee you there will be better phones on the market within 6 months.

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.

Yeah it looks retarded, I cant see this thing doing well at all. Not too mention how fucking crazy overpriced i bet it will be.

Only $799 MSRP. People pay $300 for iPods and $500 for cell phones. Besides, do you remember the first time you saw a Plasma TV in a store?

Also, as soon as phone/satelite companies come on board the price will drop.

JD · 04-19-2005, 07:02 PM

You'd be better off buying 1 share with that, at least you'd have made $50 in a year or two.

Damian_Maxcash · 04-19-2005, 07:15 PM

Im missing something I think..... It just works on broadband right?

Why is it any different from a mic and a webam on your PC?

Will it be compatable with other products and webcam/pc setups?.... if not then I cant see how it will work

Unless, as I say, I am missing some big feature.........

Broadband, yes. They also said that tests over satellite were successful, so my guess is that it will be the next step (partnership with DirecTV/Dish, etc.).

Sure you can still use a webcam and a PC, but the Ojo has all the gimmick in the world, enough to make it the next hot standard, IMHO. You can also download mp3s, burn on a CD and use it on your old discman - why buy a cool iPod?

It's time for the mainstream VOIP market to mature, and the Ojo video phone will lead the way.

It's the carriers that make the markets not the handset makers.

If their technology is only tied to Motorola they've missed out on all the carriers who don't stock motorola products.

RIM would be a shadow of it's present self if they had tied their technology to one handset maker.

Cassie · 04-20-2005, 11:13 AM

wow that is pretty wild. something tells me this will sell well.

From an investor stand point, you're better off investing in WGAT than MOT, obviously. The Ojo sales will be peanuts for Motorola and barely affect the stock any time soon, but for WGAT it means climbing to the high double-digits, IMHO.

They are not exclusive with Motorola. When you go into a market like this you just can't do it alone, and nor should you try. Packet8 and Viseon are trying to do just that - and will eventually fail or cater to the very low-end audience. With a giant like Motorola backing you up and taking care of the marketing - you are definitely in a much better position to set new standards and become the leader in an emerging market.

I've been putting it off for awhile, but I'm getting started now with WGAT and a couple others. Just got an account at ShareBuilder (I found it and joined before I heard you say it sucks. Can you elaborate please?) and deposited some money.

This should be fun.

Hello, Ojo
By CRISSA SHOEMAKER
Bucks County Courier Times

Meet Ojo.

Ojo is the latest offering in a world of instant communication, a real-time personal videophone that will allow users to connect with others around the world.

It's also the product that has saved Bensalem-based WorldGate Communications from disaster.

The sleek and futuristic-looking Ojo (pronounced OH-joe) will be distributed under a deal with Motorola, based in Horsham. Mass production started this week.

Ojo is 20 years in the making, starting with the vision of WorldGate founder and CEO Hal Krisbergh.

"I always had a dream of video telephony," said Krisbergh, who headed Motorola's broadband division for 11 years.

In 1995 Krisbergh left Motorola and founded WorldGate. The new company was to develop products that would provide Internet services through cable, like Web TV. But the concept never took off, and by 2002 it was clear the company was failing.

"We were in a nosedive," Krisbergh said. "We pulled it out just in time, but we could smell the grass."

WorldGate pulled out of its downward spiral by liquidating all of its assets and investing everything into developing the videophone concept.

"WorldGate went through this metamorphosis, caterpillar to butterfly," Krisbergh said.

The time, it turns out, was right. Technology had improved to the point where it was possible to send video feeds zooming across the Internet in no more than a sixth of a second.

Gone are the choppy images and the lip synching that make video feeds look like a badly dubbed kung fu movie. Ojo also allows users to take photographs and store them to create a picture caller ID.

"Motorola is all about delivering consumer experiences. Ojo delivers an unbelievable consumer experience," said Bill Birnie, Motorola's Ojo product manager. "It takes communication to a different level. Our whole focus is about enriching people's lives through the product you bring to the marketplace."

Ojo is available for pre-order through Motorola and will be shipped in early May. It will start appearing in "boutique electronic stores" early next month as well, Birnie said. It will retail for $799 although pre-orders will get a discount, Birnie said. Unlimited video calling costs $14.95 a month.

"Nobody in the world can do this yet, can deliver a consumer personal videophone with this experience, with this level of quality," Birnie said. "We've got the latest, state-of-the-art technology here. This thing is easy to use but there's a lot of advanced technology inside it."

Ojo will work as a videophone only when both people have them. Otherwise, it will work as a regular telephone. The video doesn't automatically turn on, so it won't catch anyone by surprise.

Fans of the Fox television show "24" will recognize Ojo as the videophone employees of the fictional Counter Terrorism Unit use to communicate with each other.

Since the first Ojo call was placed a little more than a year ago, the phones have connected members of the military serving in the Middle East with their families in the United States. Even President Bush has Ojoed, a term Motorola is trying to introduce into the technical lexicon.

But Krisbergh stresses the human side of Ojo. He uses it to talk to family members. One of the company's engineers can now talk to his deaf sister by sign language.

When people tell him they'd rather not see the person they're talking to, Krisbergh said he refuses to believe them. Often, people cry the first time they use the videophone to speak to someone they haven't seen in years, he said.

"For 125 years, we've talked two-way on voice and got so used to it nobody bothered to say how much we missed seeing who we're talking to," he said.

Krisbergh said he is happy simply to say that WorldGate was the first to produce a high-quality videophone. He said he expects competition to come quickly. But he said his company's turnaround will continue as videophones take hold in homes and businesses around the world.

"We're at the mountain," Krisbergh said. "Now it's time to climb."

Gone are the choppy images and the lip synching that make video feeds look like a badly dubbed kung fu movie. Ojo also allows users to take photographs and store them to create a picture caller ID. "Motorola is all about delivering consumer experiences. Ojo delivers an unbelievable consumer experience," said Bill Birnie, Motorola's Ojo product manager. "It takes communication to a different level. Our whole focus is about enriching people's lives through the product you bring to the marketplace." Ojo is available for pre-order through Motorola and will be shipped in early May. It will start appearing in "boutique electronic stores" early next month as well, Birnie said. It will retail for $799 although pre-orders will get a discount, Birnie said. Unlimited video calling costs $14.95 a month. "Nobody in the world can do this yet, can deliver a consumer personal videophone with this experience, with this level of quality," Birnie said. "We've got the latest, state-of-the-art technology here. This thing is easy to use but there's a lot of advanced technology inside it." Ojo will work as a videophone only when both people have them. Otherwise, it will work as a regular telephone. The video doesn't automatically turn on, so it won't catch anyone by surprise. Fans of the Fox television show "24" will recognize Ojo as the videophone employees of the fictional Counter Terrorism Unit use to communicate with each other. Since the first Ojo call was placed a little more than a year ago, the phones have connected members of the military serving in the Middle East with their families in the United States. Even President Bush has Ojoed, a term Motorola is trying to introduce into the technical lexicon. But Krisbergh stresses the human side of Ojo. He uses it to talk to family members. One of the company's engineers can now talk to his deaf sister by sign language. When people tell him they'd rather not see the person they're talking to, Krisbergh said he refuses to believe them. Often, people cry the first time they use the videophone to speak to someone they haven't seen in years, he said. "For 125 years, we've talked two-way on voice and got so used to it nobody bothered to say how much we missed seeing who we're talking to," he said. Krisbergh said he is happy simply to say that WorldGate was the first to produce a high-quality videophone. He said he expects competition to come quickly. But he said his company's turnaround will continue as videophones take hold in homes and businesses around the world. "We're at the mountain," Krisbergh said. "Now it's time to climb."
