Motorola to launch mobile phones with full-motion video display

14 May, 2007

If Sony and company can do it, why shouldn’t Motorola follow suit? With the Sony P1 making a mark with its mobile devices that come with specific features and functions to draw in willing mobile consumers, Motorola is also doing almost the same.

The Illinois-based communications giant is reportedly gearing up to make users of its devices watch unbelievable quality movies in the near future. The company is in fact unveiling a mobile phone range equipped with full-motion video display and also the ability to host feature film playback via small removable storage cards.

The world’s second largest mobile phone manufacturer after Finnis giant Nokia said that one such movie phone device will be duly illuminated during a special event soon. This is expected to happen the coming Tuesday. The new mobile movie phone from Motorola is expected to initially land in the European region where faster 3G networks are considerably more widespread than in the United States.

It has been reported that the upcoming device would display 30 frames per second full-motion video. Motorola has even tied up with an unnamed company to store full feature-length films down onto Secure Digital (SD) cards.

It may be recalled that the Motorola had said earlier that it plans to introduce a range of fresh mobile devices based on 3G and Java technology. The company wants to directly address a recent dip in sales that Motorola equates to its lack of 3G-based products.
