Motorola teams up with Polycom for Xoom video telepresence app
This should give the Xoom a big boost in the business market, where Apple leads at the moment with the Ipad and RIM is hoping to dominate with its Playbook tablet. The telepresence software features UC Intelligent Core infrastructure, which allows users to connect easily without extra network configuration.
It also allows users to easily and securely connect to existing teleconferencing devices. Both companies cited the potential benefits of using telepresence software on tablets, as it allows direct communication between employees at an office and employees on the go, making collaboration easier.
They hinted that future Motorola tablets will also feature Polycom's telepresence software, suggesting also that the Xoom will be only the first of many tablet devices from Motorola. Polycom's telepresence service will be available on Motorola's Xoom tablet in the second half of this year.
