MobileTechReview Forum, News and Reviews: ooVoo to Launch Free Video Chat and IM Solution for the BlackBerry 10 Platform

ooVoo and Research In Motion (RIM) today announced that ooVoo will bring its next-generation HD video communications service to the BlackBerry 10 platform. Here's more info on this video chat software for the mobile device:

The BlackBerry 10 platform allows the ooVoo service to easily integrate with voice, video and the remarkably fast BlackBerry 10 browser, which will give BlackBerry 10 customers a multiplatform solution for video chat and instant messaging with friends, family and colleagues. With ooVoo, up to 12 contacts can connect at the same time, allowing customers to stay connected and share experiences.

ooVoo will be integrated into the basic calling functionality in BlackBerry 10, making it easy for customers to flow directly from a voice call to an ooVoo video call. ooVoo's cloud-based service provides remarkable video quality. BlackBerry 10 customers will be able to chat cross-platform, and take advantage of the social features that ooVoo provides, for free.

ooVoo's innovative Watch Together feature allows customers to have group video viewing experiences within video calls. ooVoo's customers can incorporate video calling with friends and family into their daily lives by, for example, bringing friends along on shopping trips through ooVoo to get real-time opinions on choices, or mommy group members showing the latest happenings - whether milestone or mysterious spots - for opinions in real-time.

Pricing and Availability
ooVoo is a free service, and will be offered for BlackBerry 10 smartphones on the BlackBerry World storefront later this year.
