Motorola Adds Video Mail to Ojo Videophone
Horsham, Pa. — Motorola added video mail to Ojo VoIP video phone. The new feature lets users record a personalized video that callers with their own Ojo automatically receive when the user is not available. Callers can then record a video message, which Ojo will save for later playback. A new menu item on the Ojo main screen will show when messages are waiting and how many. Existing Ojo users will have the feature downloaded directly to their units automatically.
