Special Event: Tuesday May 15 ... Webcast: Motorola Presents the Mobile Experience motorola.com 15 May, 2007 10:00 AM EST >> Motorola Readying Movie Phone? Stevie Smith Monsters & Critics Tech News May 11, 2007 tech.monstersandcritics.com So far this week we’ve had the Palm Treo 755p and the Sony P1 hit the well-populated mobile device market offering their own specific features and functions to draw in willing mobile consumers, and now Illinois-based communications giant Motorola is getting in on the act. Although Motorola isn’t clambering up onto the ‘new release platform’ at this point in time, it’s certainly propping up a useful preparatory stepladder with the unveiling of its plans to introduce a mobile phone range equipped with full-motion video display and also the ability to host feature film playback via small removable storage cards that will see mobile owners “watching unbelievable quality movies” in the near future. More specifically, Ed Zander, CEO of Motorola Inc. (which is No.2 on the list of world’s biggest mobile phone manufacturers – second only to Finnish behemoth Nokia), revealed at this week’s Software 2007 conference in California that one such movie phone device will be duly illuminated during a special event this coming Tuesday (May 15). Zander relayed to several hundred conference attendees that Motorola is preparing to “show a device next week,” before explaining that the upcoming “media monster” would display 30fps (frames per second) full-motion video. In terms of the required technology for full movie playback via the new device, Zander also revealed that Motorola has joined alongside an (unnamed) company able to store full feature-length films down onto ‘Secure Digital (SD)’ cards, which can safely hold several gigabytes or data. This latest announcement from Zander comes after he revealed in an annual shareholders’ meeting earlier this week that the company intends to introduce a range of fresh mobile devices based on 3G and Java technology – which will directly address a recent dip in sales that Motorola equates to its lack of 3G-based products. Any such new mobile movie phone emanating from Motorola is expected to initially land in the European region where faster 3G networks are considerably more widespread than in the United States. ### - Eric -
