The
Ojo name may be going the way of the dodo after getting cut loose by
Moto, but it seems like WorldGate Communications wants to keep selling the device and service as long as possible, and
are adding VoIP support make it a little more attractive and versatile. WorldGate, who are handling all things Ojo
these days, announced VoIP support for the device, which is a welcome addition -- so long as they decide to make it
compatible with all the major standards and services. For example, if WorldGate were to add
SIP,
Skype,
Vonage,
CallVantage, etc. support to the device, we could actually see
people plunking down for one; the Ojo could easily be the swiss army knife of consumer Internet communications devices.
But somehow we have a feeling WorldGate will want be behind the wheel on the VoIP, and service will keep status quo
with voice being bound by their own proprietary system.
