That's correct, you can easily purchase network cord at best buy and decide where you want your phone to be.
this Ojo is not heavy at all, easy to use, you can adjust the camera to be higher or lower, no more headache from staring at big screen on tv
Ojo has many application from deaf since Nov and more to come, there will be waitlist mean if you apply for one you will need to do follow up with them be sure your application got approved then you will get your Ojo phone within 4-5 months I cannot promise exactly how long you will wait but I do know you WILL get one.
Reba, You actually convince me to get this one. however I need more resource about VP/ VRS before which one quality of vp/ vrs, is right for me to get one.I've seen the OJO hooked up at a Deaf friend's house, and it only took a few minutes. The picture was very clear. I've also received SnapVRS relay calls, and they were interpreted very well (I'm a terp myself, so I notice those things
Unless you have vision problems, the screen is plenty big enough to follow receptively. Personally, I think the picture looks sharper when it's compact than when it's blown up on a large screen TV.
But each person has his or her own preferences. I think it's good that there are choices out there.
bbdqsony and Secretblend are accurate! Yes, it can be anywhere in house or backyard, unless you hook up wireless (remote i.e.) receiver into it. thats true simply.
YES it is free, not everyone has webcam on their laptop, Ojo cam is pretty good, You won't have to boot up Ojo to just make phone call.
LAPTOP you will have to boot up, waiting for window to boot up then get online and type in relay service or get on cam to make vp call which will take 5-7 minutes, depend on how fast your cpu is. AND it doesn't have answer machine.
With Ojo you never need to turn it off, if someone wants to call you but your not around, ojo answer machine will automatically answer and they can leave you video message.
Secretblend: That's great you've applied for it...I suggest you to contact them once a month to get update to see how far you are on waitlist. I would say 4-5 months wait time, don't worry time will fly by.

I know how Ojo works, but my opinion is that they are wasting. I would rather to see a cellphone "live-to-live" video chatroom, so I can show my friends when I am in Paris, or party, or to introduce my friends through the cellphone. Damn, can you bring Ojo to DPHH?
DPHH-Deaf Professional Happy Hour.
I gotta say keep dreaming
As of right now Ojo is smallest VP that relay service (Snap!VRS) provided to deaf people for free which is nice of them. Who know they might be working on making a smaller one. And yes you can take Ojo to Paris and use it there. it is for worldwide.
not at Eiffel tower or in tube... who knows someone will create cellphone for deaf to be able to sign language or something but I don't think it will happen so soon. maybe in 2050, who knows.
