Motorola Z10

Motorola is getting into the cell phone camcorder market with their Z10. Nokia has been very successful in this market with the N95. This device looks more promising with it's size and style... It has a similar size to a razr but has a powerful set of features.



Motorola, today made it easy to capture, edit and share videos and images directly
from the mobile device with the introduction of MOTO(TM) Z10 at the 2008
International Consumer Electronics Show (Booth #8545, Central Hall).

The new MOTO Z10 is a complete, pocket-sized, mobile film studio. This
stylish kick slider makes it easy to capture high-quality video, edit
clips, create transitions between scenes and add title slides and a
soundtrack(1). Then, budding filmmakers can upload their creation to share
with friends and family through any number of Web sites such as YouTube,
Google, Yahoo! and ShoZu.

"With MOTO Z10, we are turning movie making and spontaneous creativity
into social activities. Now, anyone can capture and share life's moments
from almost anywhere in the world and make their unique perspective a part
of popular culture," said Stu Reed, president, Motorola Mobile Devices.

In addition to creating videos, MOTO Z10 features great media playback
capabilities. With a crystal-clear 2.2" QVGA screen that displays video at
30 frames per second in millions of colors, consumers can watch their own
films or downloaded content(2). The external storage slot will support an
external memory card with up to 32GB of capacity, when available.

MOTO Z10 also takes great pictures. One press of the dedicated camera
key launches the 3.2 megapixel camera in only 1.5 seconds. The Superfast
burst mode captures up to three images a second, so consumers will never
miss a frame of the action. The smart auto focus keeps pictures sharp while
intelligent auto-save automatically names and saves images directly to the
on-board media gallery or favorite media-sharing Web sites.

MOTO Z10 looks as sleek and stylish on the outside as it is
feature-packed inside. The ergonomic design is built with premium quality
materials, including spun stainless steel, polished metallic finish and
soft-feel textures. With 3.5G HSDPA, GSM/GPRS/EDGE, and Symbian/UIQ
software, MOTO Z10 represents the next generation of mobile device
technology for on-the-go content consumers and creators.

MOTO Z10 is expected to be available in Q1 2008. For more information,

Word is that it has a touchscreen. It is unknown whether or not it replaces a conventional keypad or not, however.

-Coming soon-
