Color us fairly skeptical friends, but the word from the web is that Moto's new line of multimedia handsets are going to be dubbed Motorola ZiNE -- yeah, we thought the same. We'd
heard rumors that new and wildly
unoriginal ideas would be rolling out of the labs and design studios at Motorola in the near future and (fingers crossed) hopefully these'll bring a change of fortune. Apparently the "ZiNE" line will feature a
Z10 successor with a big touchscreen, WiFI, and GPS and an 8 megapixel monster with optical zoom purportedly created in conjunction with Kodak. Of course, all of this is fluff and smoke 'til we see the real deal, but know we'll be posting the dodgy and blurry pics if and when we get our hands on 'em.

So, is that "zeen" as in "Have you zeen my new phone?"
or "zine" as in...well, whatever...
I could take Moto phones more zeriously if they took them more seriously and used nomenclature that was a little less cheeky.
Will it be UIQ? UIQ I DO take seriously. UIQ 2.1 was way ahead of its time.

So it's "Zune", but with a lowercase "i" to hint iPod/iPhone? Yeah, that's original. Unless this is actually a magazine, and not a new phone product.

ZiNE? sounds like Maga-zine?

funny side note: "Zine" is hebrew for penis.

Thats really funny cause working at the Motorola plant in Libertyville,IL USA plant we called the original flip phone "Dick Tracy". Go figure naturally it was shortened to Dick.

Oh please! At least Meizu (M8) does not make anyone think of two competing Mp3 players

When I went to Israel for the first time the longest sentance I could say is "you have a small penis"
