Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha recently said that Motorola will field between two and four video calling-capable handsets by the end of the year to compete with Apple's iPhone 4.
Jha was speaking at the Executives Club of Chicago, and let loose several whoppers. First, the company plans to bring between two and four handsets with video calling to market by the end the year. Earlier this week, Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced iPhone 4, and its hallmark feature is video calling. Jha didn't say when the devices would become available, but Jha has previously said that it is launching to more Droid-branded devices with Verizon Wireless some time in June or July. "We will introduce new Droid products in the Verizon franchise," he noted. It is possible these could be the same handsets.
Video calling allows two mobile phone users to share a live, two-way video feed of one another, generally through the use of secondary, user-facing cameras. The recently released HTC EVO 4G has this feature (using software from Qik), as will the iPhone 4 when it goes on sale June 24.
