Moto’s Seamless Mobility and iTunes.
Adding weight to the rumour that we’ll see the Motorola/Apple mobile phone soon, Moto showed off some technology at this weeks CES.
Speaking during a keynote at the International Consumer Electronics Show here, the executive demonstrated the phone, which in many ways mimics the iPod. It syncs with a computer and the iTunes Music Store like an iPod does, and incorporates the iPod interface for navigating and playing digital music, said Ron Garriques, a Motorola executive vice president.
More interesting is the technology that they showed off that underpins their Seamless Mobility campaign.
Garriques cited the Apple partnership as an example of Motorola’s push into what he called “seamless mobility 2.0.” While mobile devices already are allowing consumers to communicate multiple ways and to take digital media with them, the next-generation products will bridge gaps between networks and devices so consumers can access their digital content anywhere and without interruptions.
“You’ll know we hit 2.0 when the Internet is no longer visible ‚Ķ and the PC is a peripheral,” Garriques said.
In another demo, Garriques showed off a Motorola RFID tag that allows a consumer to continue to play a digital music or video file while moving between locations and devices. In the demo, a music video clip moved with him as he walked among an LCD TV, MP3 player, laptop computer and mobile phone.
The tag is part of Motorola’s “Liquid Media” technology, and it is slated to be available later in 2005.
Just for fun, we’re guessing, they also showed off their Burton Snowboard apparel. Like the beanie pictured.
