Motorola, at a recent press release, has announced its new Moto W7 Active Edition, a slider phone, especially created for fitness freaks. This unique 3G WCDMA device senses movements, orientation and hand gestures and is perfect for users who live an active lifestyle.
The Moto W7’s accelerometer automatically detects subtle gestures that enable users to control the device with ease. They can flip the phone to silence an incoming call, snooze the alarm or pause music. Shaking the W7 twice launches users’ favorite applications, and flicking it enables them to skip songs and images. In addition to these gesture controls, a step pedometer helps users set goals, complete workouts, and keep track of fitness progress.
The Moto W7 supports Bluetooth A2DP and a microSD card slot, and lets users choose between an integrated MP3 player or the device’s FM radio. The Motorola W7 Active Edition will be available in Q2 2009 in Asia and Latin America, in licorice and alpine white color schemes. Pricing and availability are not announced yet.

HP and Research In Motion (RIM) today announced at a press release that they will be establishing a strategic alliance aimed at delivering a portfolio of solutions for business mobility on the BlackBerry platform. At this year’s Wireless Enterprise Symposium in Orlando, Fla., HP will be demonstrating two new solutions – HP CloudPrint for BlackBerry smartphones and HP Operations Manager for BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
HP CloudPrint for BlackBerry smartphones is a web services based solution that allows users to print emails, documents, photos and web pages using a BlackBerry smartphone, even while on the go. The CloudPrint service enables mobile users to easily print to the nearest printer, no matter where their current location is. The service is printer-agnostic and driverless and requires simple Internet access. HP and RIM plan to make CloudPrint available to BlackBerry Internet Service subscribers as well as BlackBerry Enterprise Server customers.
HP also is introducing software to centrally monitor and manage the extended BlackBerry solution ecosystem, whether it is virtual or physical. This ecosystem includes the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software, mail servers, databases, Microsoft Active Directory and server operating systems such as Windows Server. Plans also include extending the capabilities of the monitoring solution to provide an end-to-end view of enterprise applications running on the BlackBerry platform.
HP Operations Manager for BlackBerry Enterprise Server correlates events from each part of the mobile ecosystem to help customers pinpoint potential issues and take corrective actions to remediate them. This single console reduces costs associated with monitoring multiple consoles and provides customers with a consolidated view into events, enabling them to manage performance and deliver optimal service levels for BlackBerry messaging services.
