Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT), a global leader in wireless communications, today launched its music-optimised ROKR™ platform and marketing agreement with Napster (Nasdaq: NAPS), also announcing the availability of the ROKR Z6 and ROKR S9, giving mobile consumers in Dubai easy access to their favourite music on-the-go.

ROKR Z6
Motorola's ROKR Z6 is a music masterpiece, merging the latest music features with a cutting-edge metallic slider design. This Linux-Java software based handset is powered by Windows Media Player® and lets consumers plug and play with a personal computer running Windows Media Player 10 or 11. The handset's dedicated one-touch music key, enhanced audio capabilities and integrated music player, with support for multiple music formats, provides a powerful music experience. ROKR Z6 also features high speed USB 2.0 for ultra-fast downloads.

"ROKR Z6 is a true convergence of the music player and mobile phone. Consumers no longer need to carry two separate devices," said Patrick Mulligan, Area Director for Motorola's mobile devices business in the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey and Pakistan.

"This handset is packed with music features that consumers across the region demand today, including easy PC synching and fast access to over 200 music stores," he said.

ROKR Z6 also features stereo Bluetooth® wireless technology, enabling users to enjoy freedom from wires with the ROKR S9 Bluetooth headset. Consumers can also store approximately 1,000 songs and 70 hours of music with its 2GB microSD™ card.

Napster
Motorola and Napster have co-developed promotional plans making it easy for consumers to join the Napster community and load songs from its broad song catalogue to ROKR Z6 and other future Motorola music-enabled handsets.

"Motorola's powerful global brand image, music leadership and exceptional market position presents tremendous potential for Napster, helping us broaden our global presence," Chris Gorog, chairman and chief operating officer, Napster.
