Motorola launches two new handsets featuring hand-writing recognition
After enjoying strong shipment volumes for its Ming A1200 handset featuring hand-writing recognition in the Greater-China market, Motorola has introduced the second-generation Ming A1600 and low-price A810 model this week to grab more market share.
Both the A1600 and A810 are 2G handsets. The A1600 uses a Linux-based platform and features GPS and a 3.2-megapixel camera. The A810 comes with a 2-megapixel camera and carries a recommended price of NT$6990 (US$217.27).
Bill Chen, general manager of Motorola Taiwan's Mobile Device business, commented that the Ming series' emphasis on hand-writing recognition for Chinese input makes it especially suitable for the Greater-China market.
Since Motorola launched the first touchscreen handset with Chinese-input recognition in 1999, shipments have totaled eight million units, with five million units having been shipped in the past three years, the sources added.
In other news, Chen also indicated that Motorola will continue introducing smartphones based on different platforms such as Linux, Symbian and Windows Mobile. In the future Linux smartphones will also be introduced in 3G models, he added.
