Motorola and Polycom will join forces to deliver Polycom’s telepresence solution for Motorola Xoom tablets.

The standards-based telepresence video application on Xoom will deliver "improved enterprise collaboration and productivity by enabling users to easily connect and share content virtually anywhere via one-to-one or group video experiences” says Polycom.

"Motorola Mobility is making great strides in enabling enterprise users, and we are excited to equip mobile workers with effective collaboration tools that improve decision making and accelerate customer response,” said Christy Wyatt, corporate vice president, software and services product management, Motorola Mobility.

"Leveraging Polycom’s innovation and leadership in telepresence, Motorola will help businesses easily extend their video initiatives to Xoom, thereby expanding mobile collaboration for workers. For consumers, the Xoom video experience will set a new standard for quality and performance.”

Polycom telepresence for Motorola devices is expected to launch in the second half of 2011. We're still waiting for a solid New Zealand release date for the new tablet range.
