Motorola announces MOTOMAGX Mobile Linux Platform
Posted by gasusan2005 on 08/7/07 in Motorola
Motorola announced today a significant step in its commitment to mobile Linux and rich experience creation by introducing MOTOMAGX, its next generation mobile Linux platform. Building on the global success of Motorola’s earlier Linux-based platforms, MOTOMAGX lays the foundation to deliver new levels of openness, flexibility and support for third-party applications on Motorola mobile devices.
A leader in mobile Linux, Motorola has sold more than 9 million Linux-based handsets worldwide — and this is just the beginning. In the next few years, up to 60% of Motorola’s handset portfolio is expected to be based on Linux, with the MOTOMAGX platform playing a key role in supporting this strategy. Offering unmatched innovation driven by a robust developer ecosystem, Motorola has chosen Linux to deliver the rich, new experiences that consumers crave. This is evident in the first products based on the MOTOMAGX platform: the music-optimized MOTOROKR Z6 and the Motorola RAZR2 V8 handsets, available now in select markets worldwide. The RAZR2 V8 will be Motorola’s first Linux-based device bound for North America, representing another milestone in the company’s global mobile Linuxleadership.
Motorola’s MOTOMAGX platform is designed to support a broad array of content created by third-party developers. Today, MOTOMAGX supports applications developed in Java ME, with plans to introduce new WebUI (featuring web technology to enable widgets and Web 2.0 experiences) and native Linux application environments in upcoming releases. These three application environments, combined with the relevant tools available through Motorola’s MOTODEV Studio integrated development environment, will help enable MOTODEV developers to innovate and accelerate time to market for their applications.
To further enable developers to take advantage of application development opportunities in mobile, Motorola announced today a global series of MOTODEV Summits — exclusive, one-day events that offer developers technical expertise, practical advice, guidance, and a sneak peek at the next generation of Motorola devices, platforms and technology — including MOTOMAGX.
Developers interested in creating applications for the MOTOMAGX platform using Java ME can do so today by downloading the MOTODEV Studio for Java ME application development environment at Motorola- developer . WebUI and native Linux plug-ins for MOTODEV Studio are expected to be available to select developers by the end of Q4 2007.
