Ed’s Telecom Alert

All..

Hey, folks- another one - don’t know what it looks like, but neverheless an announcement of another video conference product/service by WorldGate.   

Copy and paste one paragraph related to SnapVRS.   Interesting to note "ojo’s biggest customer" is serving the deaf and hoh. 

 "The MSRP for the Ojo Pro will be $699 and it is expected to be available for delivery in September 2008. Snap!VRS, Ojo’s biggest customer serving the Deaf and Hard of Hearing markets will be among the first to distribute the Ojo Pro. "We look forward to testing and offering Ojo Pro and its enhanced functionality to our Deaf and Hard of Hearing customers for use in their workplace" said Richard Schatzberg, CEO, Snap!VRS."

OJO Pro VP

When it rains, it pours, huh?   This is really for business, but I can see where it may benefit deaf/hoh who are in business for themselves, or work for government agencies or corporate.

See the links of the latest releases of new video phones by CSDVRS. 

ZIP 340

ZT-150

Hats off to CSDVRS for doing that!  

I am sure most of us are eager to know how well they work, cost of them, etc.   

Any of you go to the NAD conference?  If so, did you check these nifty video phones out?   Share with us what you thought.  

VP-200, OJO, VPAD, MVP, and now these VPs.   WOW - we deaf and hard-of-hearing persons sure are being spoiled by VRS providers.  Don’t you love that!   Of course, they do them because they want to make money ;-]  

eyes open & thumbs up,

Click this and tell me if it is a good one or a wimpy bill?  It is about Congress strengthening Civil Rights bill.

My interpretation is that it is still wimpy, but headed in right direction.
