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.

????MOTOMAGX, when paired with the tools and support from our MOTODEV Developer network, provides a powerful platform for innovation — making it easier and faster for developers to create new applications for our mobile devices,???? said Christy Wyatt, vice president, ecosystem and market development, Motorola. ????This opens exciting possibilities for what tomorrow’s mobile applications will be able to do and the new device experiences they will support.”

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 www.motorola.com/developer. WebUI and native Linux plug-ins for MOTODEV Studio are expected to be available to select developers by the end of Q4 2007.

????Motorola is helping to mobilize Web 2.0 content and services through the introduction of their WebUI application environment within MOTOMAGX,???? said Ojas Rege, vice president of mobile products, Yahoo!. ????We believe these types of platforms will enable developers to deliver compelling applications that play across an array of Motorola devices and help to continue to grow the marketplace for innovative mobile Internet services.”

Travis Boatman, vice president of worldwide studios at EA Mobile said, ????As the global leader in mobile games, EA Mobile prioritizes applications that can be used across the industry’s most common platforms. Motorola is leading in mobile Linux and we applaud their launch of the MOTOMAGX platform with its associated application environments and toolsets. We look forward to working with Motorola to bring exciting entertainment experiences to mobile users worldwide.????
