Motorola makes the Motozine ZN5 official
So, that new Motorola phone touting a 5-megapixel Kodak camera that we told you about not so long ago is actually true. Motorola has officially announced the new phone as the MOTOZINE ZN5, or more simply the ZINE ZN5. And like we told you before, this phone would feature a 5-megapixel camera with auto-focus, a Xenon flash, and some settings that would make it a good camera when shooting in low-light environment.
And since the ZINE ZN5 will have a Kodak camera, it goes without saying that it would have direct link to the Kodak online image gallery for viewing, storing and sharing with friends and family. In addition, it would also come with Kodak Easyshare Software to help users organize, edit, share, store and find photos on their PC’s.
Motorola phone with 5-megapixel Kodak camera surfaces
Pictures of a new Motorola slider phone have surfaced. The phone, reportedly named the ZN5, sports a monster Kodak-branded 5 megapixel camera. However, in a forehead slapping moment, the camera does not have autofocus.
Other specs include the phone’s ability to run on quad-band, however the data speeds are limited to EDGE (again, come on Motorola!). The ZN5 runs on the MOTOMAGX platform, which is Linux-based. The phone also has Bluetooth built in, along with 100MB of internal space plus a MicroSD slot. The touch wheel used for navigation also doubles as a 5-way directional pad.

Kodak unveils the Olympics-themed M2008 digital camera
Most companies have, at some point, released some sort of themed device, with the theme of the last two years being this summer’s Beijing Olympics. Lenovo, put out their so-styled laptop, a very long time ago. Now Kodak is keeping true to customs with their Olympic-themed M2008 digital camera.
The device features the Olympics logo, along with text that reads “Beijing 2008.” From a more technological standpoint, the M2008 offers a 10-megapixel camera and 3x optical zoom. The standard Kodak menu system can be viewed via the 3-inch LCD on the device. You can even record events, sporting or otherwise, in 720p with the video functionality, a nice touch.
Those of you living in China can pick one up for around $270, but no word about a Stateside release. Keep reading for a few more pictures.
Kodak promo lets you upload 100 photos to any new digital photo frame
Loved ones not happy enough with the fact that you’ve just bought them a new digital picture frame? Then perhaps you should try pre-loading up to 100 photos on it before you actually give it or ship it out to them. This is what a convenient new service from Kodak is trying to do for customers, which I would label great if only it weren’t a paid service—it costs $20, which is in addition to the price of the digital picture frame itself.
And what exactly does an additional $20 give you? Well, for starters, an SD card will come with the digital picture frame package that you order, and in it you have the option to load up to 100 snap shots for the recipients to uncontrollably laugh at.
Though I don’t think a service like this would catch on any time soon, still we tip our hats off to Kodak for thinking this up. What took you so long?

The truth about Motorola’s new 5-megapixel Kodak cameraphone
Not much is known about Motorola’s upcoming Motorola ZN5 except that it’s supposed to be a 5-megapixel Kodak camera-equipped candy bar handset with a Montavista Linux 2.6.1 OS. Unwired View is reporting about a few additional, if a bit disappointing features including 2.5G GSM/GPRS connectivity, 320×240 QVGA display, so-so multimedia capability (Mpeg4 playback) and a bulky camera mechanism. But Motorola has been mum on the issue so far and even that leaked video showing the upcoming Moto phones has been taken down. So right now, the details about this phone are really scarce. Now I’ll be honest with you, I’m curious about this new Motorola phone and all the others because I still believe Motorola can do a comeback even after scoring second to the last in a recently conducted survey of user satisfaction, and not to mention the dismal sales of their then precious Motorola RAZR2 V8. So I did a little digging and well, I found what I was looking for. Not rumors, but official specs of the Motorola ZN5 supplied by the manufacturer’s web site itself.
Motorola set to make major handset announcements at CTIA Wireless 2008
Motorola fans, get ready to rejoice. According to an unofficial statement from one of Motorola VPs, the big M has decided to make some big announcements at CTIA Wireless on April 1-3, instead of during the recently concluded Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The reason why is because they didn’t want to get overshadowed by the other companies’ announcements back then. And if you’ve already seen the video embedded above, you might even say there’s almost no need for their humble act of trying to move away from the hype. Their upcoming phones kick butt, so far, judging from the video. Could it be time for Motorola’s comeback?
