A teaser shot of Motorola's 5 megapixel multimedia maven?
Remember that Moto lineup for 2008 that was supposedly leaked a couple months back? You know, the one that might just stand a chance at breathing life into Moto's tired range and flagging financial performance if it turns out to be even remotely legit? Well, IT168 has what appears to be a shot -- albeit a relatively crappy, likely rendered one -- of the X PIXL / Z12 slider that had been mentioned as a part of that '08 roadmap, showing the 5 megapixel Kodak-branded cam we'd heard about along with the obligatory xenon flash. Now clearly, this shot is utterly trivial to fake, but we tend to give it a little weight here if for no other reason than the fact that Moto pretty much has to get out a 5 megapixel cameraphone with name-brand optics at this point just to keep up with the Joneses.[Via Just Another Mobile Phone Blog]
Motorola's 2008 lineup leaked in Amsterdam
Like blurry future product shots do ya? Well, these rank with the best. Four new handsets were accidentally on purpose shown to Mobile Phone Helpdesk today in Amsterdam during a discussion with Motorola. Kicking things off is the device code-named "SKARVEN;" a ZOOM-series kick-slider which might feature an 8 megapixel camera and 2.8-inch screen. The TEXEL is another ROKR musicphone due in February or March of 2008. It features a morphing keypad like that found on the ROKR E8 which allows the keypad icons and functions to change in support of music or cellphone modes. The X PIXL is a Kodak-Motorola mashup which should bring a 5 megapixel camera to market under a Motorola Z12 product name. Rounding things out is the entry-level GENGHIS QWERTY device for non-business types. While there's not much to call home about, at least none of these future looking devices looks like another played-out RAZR.[Via Unwired View]
