There’s been a lot of hardware news today with the BenQ, HTC Diamond and now the Motorola RIZR Z10. The RIZR Z10 will be released on O2 and will come with a 3.2 megapixel camera, quad-band GSM / EDGE, single-band HSDPA, support for up to 32GB of pop-in memory, a winning kick-slide form factor, and the Borne Ultimate collection on the included 1GB microSD card. The phone comes with built in pic and video editing software as well as the ability to add a soundtrack, overlay text, and even upload your 30fps edited videos right to YouTube from the handset. Prices will range from free to £149.99 (roughly $300).
The guys at unwired think that - in light of their poor showing at Mobile World Congress - Motorola might drop the highly anticipated Q10, the heir apparent to the successful Q9. The Q10’s key new feature is rumored to be a touchscreen, which would be a real draw for many.
CTIA (April 1 - 3) might also see the launch of several other Motorola handsets, including a cameraphone that looks to have come from their partnership with Kodak. Check out the original post for pics.
Our friends at BlackBerry Cool have posted some information on a escalating war of lawyers between Motorola and RIM.
Motorola sued RIM, claiming that RIM is using 7 Motorola patents without permission. RIM sued right back with 9 claims of patent infringement, and accused Motorola of refusing to license some of their patents in a “fair and reasonable” manner.
Neither company appears to be winning so far, so we’ll just have to wait and see where this one goes.
