The new Motorola MPx

Motorola announced last week as a world premiere the new Motorola MPx, which is expected to be available in the second half of 2004. The device brings helpful assistance to mobile professionals when out of the office. It has an interface similar to your Windows® office desktop and combines the features of a mobile phone, personal data assistant (PDA) and email messenger in one user-friendly compact device.

The Motorola Mpx is built on the MOTOPro™ Innovation Platform and supports a multitude of business applications including Microsoft Outlook e-mail and PIM, Microsoft Word®, Excel® and more. This dual-hinge device opens both lengthways and in landscape mode with a wide screen, full QWERTY keyboard and touch sensitive screen which make sending and receiving movie or video clips via e-mail, MMS, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth® effortless and quick. It has a 2.8-inch, 16-bit color display to provide an impressive 320 x 240 pixels along with 1.3 mega-pixel camera and flash embedded. To leverage the device's ability to download Microsoft Pocket PC® and Java™ applications, games, photos and more, the model MPx comes with a SD/MMC slot supporting up to 1 GB of memory.

Tom Lynch, executive vice president and chief executive officer, Personal Communications Sector, Motorola, Inc says, “The MPx expands the MOTOPro™ portfolio, enabling businesses and mobile professionals to leverage the power of mobility and convergence.”
