Moto planning ZINE line with 8MP touchscreen phone? |
Motorola is planning a whole new line of phones in 2008 and will center this around one of the most advanced media phones to date, claim bloggers tapping sources at a Motorola Spain event. Called the ZINE line, the series will reportedly include at least two models next year and will include at least one phone based on the kick-slider design of the RIZR Z8. The handset would be based on the rumored Z10 (which is now pushed back to early 2008) but would have a slightly larger housing to accommodate a touchscreen along with the usual sliding keypad. It would also draw on new technology developed in tandem with Kodak to include an 8-megapixel camera and boast an extremely rare optical zoom lens.This ZINE will also have GPS mapping and Wi-Fi, the tip says, though whether the slider will support HSPA Internet access or fully support US cellular bands. The device is due after summer, according to the report. |
