New WiFi Capable MPx from Motorola
Product Launch by Siddharth Raja on Monday February 23, 2004.
The Motorola MPxToday Motorola announced the MPx - the latest in its line of smartphones. The MPx has one of the most innovative form-factors seen in a mobile device, with dual hinges to allow the device to open both lengthways (as a clamshell phone) and in landscape mode with a wide screen and full QWERTY keyboard.
The MPx is a tri-band GSM device with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support as well as a large 2.8 inch, 16-bit color display (320x240 pixels). Since it is based on Windows Mobile software, the MPx is compatible with a wide variety of advanced PDA applications and utilities. This also means that the MPx can view and edit Microsoft Office file formats.
The device is also very strong when it comes to multimedia. It supports MMC/SD cards of up to 1GB capacity, has a 1.3 megapixel camera (with flash), Java technology, and video recording. The video recordings can later be sent via e-mail, MMS, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
Motorola hasn't released pricing details yet, but claims that the MPx will be available in the second half of 2004.
