ooVoo for Android is Out; Video Chat with up to 5 People at a Time
Video calling is set to explode in 2011 and ooVoo – one of the big players on the desktop space – doesn’t want to be left out: they’ve just released their Android app. Six people can video chat with each other making for a very dynamic and robust experience. Having used ooVoo on the desktop, I can’t say enough about the great experience it provides for groups of freinds and family who live away from each other.
But trying to look at 5 people on a phone? That’s going to be quite the eye-straining experience. (To be fair, it’s not as if you’re always going to be using it to chat to 5 other people.) The more the merrier I say, though. ooVoo not only lets you chat to more than one people, but it lets you save those memories and helps you upload them to YouTube and Facebook.
They provide an interesting alternative to Qik, Skype (who is not yet on the market with their video options), and Fring in a fast growing market sector. If you haven’t already, give ooVoo a spin by visiting their site and try it out with your friends.
