BEIJING, June 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Motorola (NYSE: MOT), a
leader in wireless communications, and Kodak (NYSE: EK), the world’s
foremost imaging innovator, today announced MOTOZINE(TM) ZN5, the first
product combining world-class innovation from both companies. The MOTOZINE
ZN5 combines a high- quality phone and camera experience to help
content-craving consumers seize inspiration and share the content they
create and love with the world.
Unveiled today in Beijing at a gallery-inspired event, ZINE ZN5
delivers an easy and immersive mobile imaging experience. ZN5 is the first
mobile phone to combine Motorola’s ModeShift Technology and KODAK Imaging
Technology. Together, they redefine the quality, convenience and
connectivity of mobile imaging devices. With KODAK EASYSHARE Software and
easy access to KODAK Gallery(1) or other web sharing sites,(2) pictures are
easily moved off the device, allowing consumers to print, share and enjoy
their favorite photos whenever they want.
“Today’s creative consumers not only want to be the photographer, but
also the retoucher, the exhibitor and the critic,” said Jeremy Dale,
corporate vice president, mobile devices marketing, Motorola, Inc. “The
MOTOZINE ZN5 lets them be all the things they want to be.”
Built to Shoot
ZN5 puts image capture first, with a high-resolution landscape screen
and one of the fastest click-to-click times available. To launch the
camera, simply slide open the Kodak lens cover to transform the phone into
an ultra- fast 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus, a Xenon flash, 4GB of
optional external memory(3) and optimized settings for low-light
environments.
Built-in KODAK Imaging Technology ensures that every picture taken with
ZN5 looks its best. When KODAK Imaging Technology is combined with KODAK
PERFECT TOUCH Technology, images become brighter and more vivid on the
spot. Multiple capture modes, like multi-shot and panorama, which
automatically stitches together continuous shots taken on the horizon line
into a single, extended image(1), makes taking photos fun.
“KODAK Imaging Technology combines Kodak’s unparalleled experience in
imaging science with easy connectivity to the company’s vast portfolio of
products and services,” said John Blake, general manager digital capture
and imaging devices group, vice president Eastman Kodak Company. “We have
redefined the quality, convenience and connectivity of mobile imaging
devices. We have worked closely with Motorola to create a device that not
only delivers Kodak-quality pictures, but allows consumers to explore a
wide range of options for sharing their photos with friends and family
around the world.”
Built to Share
With one touch, photos can be viewed right from the home screen; no
menus, no searching. This multimedia device provides a fun, quick and easy
way to share favorite photos. Pictures can be uploaded via Gallery Link in
one simple click and instantly shared to the KODAK Gallery
(http://www.kodakgallery.com)(1) to be viewed, stored and shared with
friends and family. ShoZu can be used to upload photos to a variety of
social networking sites(1). ZN5 comes with KODAK EASYSHARE Software, the
world’s most used photo software, making it easy to organize, edit, share,
store and find mobile pictures(1). Consumers can transfer pictures to a
computer via USB, Wi-Fi(1) or Bluetooth(R) wireless technology(4) and print
wirelessly on Bluetooth-compatible KODAK All-in-One Printers and at KODAK
Picture Kiosks.
Built to Talk
In phone mode, ZN5 features Motorola’s patented CrystalTalk(TM)
technology to help callers hear and be heard, even in noisy environments.
With dual compatibility for GSM and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN),
users can connect in more areas around the world(2) and enjoy high-speed
wireless connections to surf the Web via a full HTML browser(2). To
complete the communications experience, ZN5 also supports SMS, MMS, IM and
personal e- mail(2).
The MOTOZINE Multimedia Experience
MOTOZINE ZN5 is the first device to carry the MOTOZINE franchise name,
Motorola’s new label for its multimedia-optimized devices. For the consumer
who thrives on content consumption and creation, products in the ZINE
portfolio give them the freedom to shape pop culture, on their terms.
MOTOZINE ZN5 will be first available in China in July 2008 and is
expected to roll out around the globe throughout the remainder of the year.
