Live from CTIA 2007 : Motorola MC35 : launch info + video report March 28, 2007 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Motorola has just introduced small and handy Pocket PC phone, that offers things that Palm Treo doesn't have - Wi-Fi and GPS - but at the same time has QWERTY keyboard for single handed usage! Here we present information about this phone + video from the stand of Motorola at CTIA 2007! Motorola has purchased Symbol company and MC35 is one of the products developed by Symbol and offered not just for industrial applications but also for managers and professionals... 
Rumors were rampant that Motorola or Nokia would close a deal to buy Palm last week, in a deal bloggers anticipated would close around the time of Palm's quarterly earnings announcement and prior to CTIA. Palm, Nokia and Motorola all saw their share prices roller coaster as a result. This week Motorola canceled its keynote address at CTIA without explanation. Showroom floor scuttlebutt is that Motorola is occupied with buyout talks. As you can see in this video recorded live by Tadd Rosenfeld on behalf of msmobiles.com, Motorola is adding two new smartphone devices to its portfolio through acquisition. The company has not announced any consumer oriented Treo-like devices developed internally since the Motorola Q was announced last year. In comparison, other manufacturers such as HTC and i-mate are releasing smartphones three at a time. The new Motorola smartphones in this video were manufactured under the brand name "Symbol." Now that Motorola has acquired them, they are known as "MC" devices. The specifications are impressive. However, they are not a threat to Palm, HTC, Samsung or i-mate in the consumer market because they are designed for outdoor use and for purchase by enterprises. * * * * * AT&T TEAMS WITH MOTOROLA TO OFFER NEW, DURABLE MC35 ENTERPRISE DIGITAL ASSISTANT TO U.S. BUSINESS CUSTOMERS Motorola, Inc.’s breakthrough MC35 Enterprise Digital Assistant will be available in April to AT&T wireless business customers through an arrangement with Motorola. AT&T made the announcement today at CTIA Wireless 2007 in Orlando in conjunction with Motorola’s launch of the MC35. AT&T customers are the first in the U.S. to have access to the MC35 EDA, which provides a sleek and attractive PDA-like form factor that sets a new standard for size in the durable device space. The MC35 helps mobile employees stay connected to important business information using a variety of built-in communications platforms — including ATT’s nationwide high-speed wireless data network, Global Positioning Satellite (GPS), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The AT&T-enabled MC35 EDA uses these connectivity options to combine the power of a mobile phone, mobile computing device, camera and bar code scanner into a single multi-functional device. This gives field technicians, mobile sales forces, delivery personnel and even executives access to corporate e-mail, messaging, Web connectivity, location-based services (LBS) and other mission-critical business applications and Push To Talk (PTT). “Built-in GPS and Push To Talk are two must-have capabilities for companies with employees in the field,” said Jeff Bradley, vice president, wireless business data services, for AT&T. “The packaging of these features in the compact, PDA-like MC35 EDA along with complementary business applications, such as mobile resource management, field service and sales force automation will provide our enterprise customers with an end-to-end solution to bring efficiency into their operations.” More than 25 enterprise applications can be ported to the MC35 EDA. Several are available directly through AT&T’s wireless business-to-business sales organization. These include:
The MC35 EDA operates on AT&T’s nationwide wireless data network, the largest digital wireless data network in the nation, with availability in more than 13,000 cities and towns and along some 40,000 miles of major highways.
