Motorola lets the music play tith new ROKR

Motorola, Inc. announced its new ROKR brand of music-optimized headsets and handsets, highlighted by the powerful ROKR Z6, which is expected to hit stores in May.  Further delivering the best music experience for mobile consumers, the company also announced a unique marketing agreement with Napster to give music fans even easier access to millions of songs on the go.

The ROKR devices unite Motorola’s iconic style, with full MP3 player capabilities, and the seamless capability of a high-quality operating system.  Inside the clean lines of the ROKR Z6 is a Linux/Java music phone with Windows Media technologies, including Windows Media Audio (WMA) Windows Media DRM 10, and media transfer protocol (MTP). The ROKR Z6 lets consumers “plug and play” with any personal computer running Windows Media Player 10 or 11.  With fast PC direct connectivity via High Speed USB 2.0, the Z6 lets you access music you want simply and seamlessly.

“The new ROKR music handsets are a true convergence of the MP3 player and mobile phone,” said Chris White, senior director, Mobile Devices Multimedia Entertainment, Motorola. “These innovative devices are packed with the features mobile consumers demand today, including easy PC synching and access to hundreds of music stores.”

The ROKR portfolio has a style for every taste and preference – a touch-screen on the ROKR E6 and a slider form on the new ROKR Z6.
