Motorola's new Z10 features on-board video editing

Billed as the complete, pocket-sized, mobile film studio, the new Motorola Z10 3G mobile handset is designed for video capture and editing on the fly, shooting at 30 frames per second via a 3.2 megapixel camera and featuring the in-built ability to splice together scenes and add commentary, titles or soundtracks.

The ergonomic "kick-slider" design (which uses spun stainless steel, polished metallic finish and soft-feel textures) houses a 2.2” QVGA screen that displays video at 30 fps and the 3.2 megapixel camera features instant launch enabling "quickdraw" photo capture in 1.5 seconds. A Superfast burst mode takes up to three still images a second and in addition to auto focus, the camera sports an intelligent auto-save function that saves images directly to the on-board media gallery by content type.

Optimize for content sharing with sites such as YouTube, Google, Yahoo! and ShoZu, the Z10 features 3.5G HSDPA, GSM/GPRS/EDGE, and Symbian/UIQ software. The external storage slot is future proofed to support an external memory card with up to 32GB of capacity (when available).

MOTO Z10 is expected to be available in Q1 2008.
