    The music you want - when and where you want it
    From music-optimized devices and accessories to new services that help

brings you the latest innovations in the union of music, media and mobility
with its new MOTOMUSIC platform:
    MOTOMUSIC devices

       experience to consumers worldwide.  The Linux-based MOTORIZR Z6 is
       compatible with Microsoft Windows Media(TM) Player subscription stores.
       It's easy to take music on the go -- simply plug in and sync music.(1)
       Synchronize individual songs or full playlists in seconds with high
       speed USB 2.0.  Up to 2GB of removable microSD(TM) memory allows users
       to store all of their favorite songs.  Dedicated music keys make
       accessing and managing your library a cinch.  Even listen wirelessly
       with Bluetooth(TM) Stereo technology.(2)
    -- MOTOMING with EDGE -- This supremely stylish and compact Linux-based
       device is a mobile communications and entertainment center for those
       who need to keep their work, life and entertainment organized and

       unique "play while closed" capability, stereo Bluetooth wireless
       technology(2) and up to 1GB of optional removable microSD memory --
       music lovers can get the music they want when they want it.

    MOTOMUSIC alliances

    -- Warner Music Group -- The first of multiple alliances expected to
       provide content for the MOTOMUSIC Experience, Motorola and Warner Music
       Group will collaborate on the development of digital products,
       marketing campaigns and strategic planning across multiple devices. The
       alliance will feature a variety of artists and can offer fans
       exclusive, premium content such as full-length songs, ringtones,
       ringback tones, mobile music videos, wallpapers and more.

       making it easy for consumers to take music from their Windows-based PC
       and load it on their phone.  Users will have an easy mobile music
