After selling more than eight million pen-based PDA phones in China, Motorola is launching three new devices in the world’s fastest growing economy. Let’s quickly go through each of the handsets announced, shall we.
MOTO A810 is an entry-level PDA and with reportedly “chic and stylish” look, even though we’re not quite sure what’s so special about it. Specs wise, it boasts a 2 megapixel camera, media player, FM radio, standard 3.5mm audio jack, and of course the microSD memory card slot. Available in either white or black, the device comes with such preinstalled apps as stock trading, dictionary and classic games.
Then comes the more powerful MING A1600 model. It boasts a built-in GPS receiver, 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus, panorama and scanning capabilities, 2.4-inch touchscreen, microSD slot, talking dictionary that scans characters, recognizes the words and even pronounces the translation for you.
Finally, MING A1800 is a CDMA/GSM dual-mode phone which also comes with a built-in GPS receiver. Rest of the specs include 3 megapixel camera with auto-focus, 2.4-inch touchscreen, microSD expansion slot, and preinstalled apps like email, Office document reader, business card reader, and Kingsoft translation software.
All three devices are already available across China at authorized Motorola retailers.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
