As Dusan posted up the other day, Moto is busy launching it’s MOTOjewel handset, which you could suggest is one more for the ladies (and probably some lads that I know too!)….
…but quite apart from the design-centric hardware ID, it would appear this bad-boy er .. girl is equipped with some audio goodness….
First of all there is supposed be a simple drag-and-drop interface for getting your choonz on to and off the device – all enabled by our friendly Windows Media Player 11 (I can’t even remember which DRM is in that version, but I suppose if you are moving MP3s about it doesn’t matter, does it?).
Additionally, for audio talkage, there is the CrystalTalk technology for better call clarity, and then finally in the mix is stereo Bluetooth support – or A2DP for fans of random abbreviations
All in all then – risque (but kinda nice) design, and funk-tastic audio. Hello, Moto.
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
