re: MOT Unveiled << Heads should be rolling somewhere in Schaumburg....this is really a royal screwup. >> You scooped everybody by spotting the link. >> Motorola Product Roadmap Unveiled -- PMN -- 18 September 2002 A US discussion forum dedicated to mobile telephony has posted extracts from what it claims to be Motorola's 2003 product line-up. Devices include a Symbian OS smartphone referred to as Paragon II and a camera phone with the code A835. Motorola is known to be working on a Symbian OS smartphone for Hutchison 3G, codenamed Paragon, which uses the same UIQ interface as SonyEricsson's P800. Paragon II uses an enhanced version of Symbian OS 7, with support for J2ME, XHTML, VPN, instant messaging and polyphonic sound. It can play MP3s and comes with a set of remote-controlled headphones. There is an integrated digital camera, Bluetooth and GPS. It will accept SD cards, including an 802.11b accessory, and is scheduled for availability in Q4 2003. The colour A835 supports J2ME, MMS, integrated digital video capture and playback, MP3 ringtones and downloadable themes. Other devices include the budget C370, with colour screen, J2ME, WAP 2.0 and EMS, and the E360R, with similar specifications but including a digital camera. The T725, due Q2 2003, is an update of of the T720 Motorola announced last year and also adds a digital camera. Motorola is also planning colour screen versions of its V70 fashion handset in Q1 2003 and two colour-screen flip phones for the US market which support GSM in all four bands - 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 Mhz. Motorola was unavailable for comment. << - Eric -

re: More on Motorola Pics >> Motorola Links With Microsoft, GSM Pics Leaked Kristy Bassuener news@2 direct Wireless Week September 18, 2002 No. 2 mobile phone maker Motorola and software sultanate Microsoft today say they will collaborate on technology for handheld devices. Under the cooperation, Motorola has tooled its DragonBall-brand platform application development system to support the Microsoft Windows CE operating system. Motorola says DragonBall lights a fire under normal wireless performance, giving devices extended run times as a result of long battery life while still supporting advanced features, such as digital photography and wireless connectivity. ''As the industry leader in applications processors for handheld computing, Motorola is a natural partner for Microsoft,'' says Todd Warren, general manager of the Embedded and Appliance Platforms Group at Microsoft. ''The combination of the DragonBall processor with the Windows CE operating system will enable designers to build innovative, small footprint mobile devices that include support for rich applications, multimedia and Internet connectivity.'' Separately, photos apparently of new Motorola GSM handset designs for 2003 were released on foreign Web sites on Tuesday. Generally, the images suggest that the company could be planning to extend its popular V60, V70 and C330 handset product lines with color screens in the first half of next year, reports Lehman Brothers analyst Tim Luke. He also points out that the phone pictures posted online ''may not accurately reflect the current plans of Motorola's PCS unit and likely do not reflect the complete portfolio of Motorola GSM products due in 2003.'' The unauthorized data posted also suggests that Motorola is developing new genres of devices, such as low-end color-screen phones with built-in cameras and a PDA-type device for GSM networks, Luke adds. Motorola officials say the photos are of actual handset designs, but ''are by nature dated,'' according to Personal Communications Sector spokesman Alan Buddendeck. ''We are constantly doing development and redesign work prior to launching a new product portfolio.'' Designs in the images ''may or may not'' be part of Motorola's final 2003 handset lineup, Buddendeck adds. As for repercussions, Motorola is looking into how these images and data were obtained, Buddendeck says. The corporation's legal department looked into asking the sites to pull the images, but ''pulling [information] down doesn't serve any purpose in the information age,'' he says. << - Eric -
