Motorola launches Linux-based mobile office devices

— A910 with WiFi, A728, and A732

Mobility equals productivity and Motorola is delivering on both counts with three new devices: the A910, A728 and A732, designed to deliver a seamless mobile office experience for today’s on-the-go professional.

Leading the charge is the A910 which delivers the freedom of WiFi connectivity plus a flexible Linux software platform for top technology performance. Technology experts and novices alike will easily navigate the handset’s features and functions using Motorola’s next generation user interface.

A rich, intuitive feature set is packed into the clam-shell design including UMA technology for seamless access to GSM and GPRS features over WLAN, MotoSync connection for a home or office desktop experience on-the-go and integrated Bluetooth wireless technology for hands-free communication around the office and on the road, compatible with Motorola’s Bluetooth-enabled accessories, including the new RAZRWIRE eyewear from Oakley.

The A728 Linux-based handset offers a multitude of communication features and mobile office necessities including intelligent handwriting, PIM and email capability, SyncML support, speech recognition dialing, hands-free connections, “Power Word” dictionary and Yahoo! Messenger.

Enabled with intuitive finger-writing recognition, the A732 simplifies communications. Use your finger to write characters (Chinese and Roman) on the sliding keypad and send what you wrote as a text message! This intelligent device also utilizes a predictive text engine to learn each user’s writing style and supports basic gesture commands for editing and switching between languages.

Mark Shockley, Vice President of Seamless Mobility Solutions, explains, “Motorola is creating a full portfolio of productivity devices that meet a variety of technology, style and feature-set needs to satisfy the mobile professional and the enterprise. Combined with our new QWERTY phone – the Motorola Q – these devices will help change the way mobility impacts the bottom-line.”
