This week at the 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Motorola is delivering on an existing relationship with Microsoft to integrate Microsoft Windows Media technologies, into Motorola's MOTOMUSIC mobile devices. The MOTORIZR Z6 will be the first Motorola handset to include Microsoft Windows Media technologies including Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM), Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Media Transfer Protocol (MTP).

Built on Motorola’s new Linux-Java software platform, the MOTOMUSIC devices give consumers an easy music sync experience with Windows Media Player on Windows XP and Vista-based PCs and access to content from a wide range of online music stores from around the world. Now consumers can not only take their personal CD collections with them, but also can transfer music acquired from hundreds of download or subscription stores and playback on their Motorola handsets.

The MOTORIZR Z6 will be the first Motorola handset to include Microsoft Windows Media technologies including Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM), Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Media Transfer Protocol (MTP). This eye-catching new slider is similar to the Z3 design, offering connectivity to Windows-based PCs via the USB 2.0 high-speed protocol. By supporting MTP, Windows Media Player will automatically recognize the MOTORIZR Z6, letting users quickly and easily sync music from the PC to the phone from over 200 music stores worldwide.

The new MOTORIZR Z6 is expected to be available in the first half of 2007. Specific details will be provided upon consumer availability.
