Motorola Unveils Motozine ZN5 Camera Phone

The Motozine ZN5 has Kodak's Imaging Technology.
Motorola's Motozine ZN5 hits the market today as the latest in a series of mobile phones designed to allow users to be more creative when it comes to taking (and editing) photos.

The ZN5 is the first mobile unit with Kodak's Imaging Technology. So if you take a lot of photos (and make the occasional phone call) it's worth checking out.

The unit has auto-focus. It has a Xenon flash. It features  GSM, WLAN support, SMS, MMS, IM and personal e-mail.

It stores pictures on its 350MB internal memory, or by using the built-in microSD memory slot - a slot that supports up to 4GB cards.

It has built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a whole slew of other features.

There is one drawback - it apparently will only be available in China for the moment (starting in July), going worldwide later this year.

For more info: Information Week reviews the ZN5 and likes what it sees.

More Hands-Free Options To Talk About - Or How To Talk With A Parrot

Seems my recent post about drivers needing to go hands-free if they want to talk via mobile phone was well-received - or maybe those folks who think driving with one hand on the wheel and the other pressed against their head simply didn't bother to write.In... Read More

Hands-free, people. That's what I'd like to see from all those drivers out there still holding a cell phone to their ear while trying to navigate rush-hour traffic. It's maddening as they slow down for no reason, sit stopped at a green light, or drift... Read More
