Motorola introduced the MOTO Z10 at the 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show.
The new MOTO Z10 is a complete, pocket-sized, mobile film studio. This kick slider makes it easy to capture high-quality video, edit clips, create transitions between scenes and add title slides and a soundtrack. Then, budding filmmakers can upload their creation to share with friends and family through any number of websites such as YouTube, Google, Yahoo! and ShoZu.
The demonstrator at the booth showed how seamlessly the editing functions could be done on a phone. Graphic cross fades were accomplished fairly quickly with one-handed operation.
“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. F
