Motorola's New ROKR EM30 Becomes 22nd LiMo Handset

Statement from Morgan Gillis, Executive Director of LiMo
Foundation(TM), on the new Motorola ROKR EM30
SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
LiMo Foundation is excited about the announcement Motorola issued
today of another LiMo handset, which immediately follows and
complements our August 4 announcement of seven additional new LiMo
handsets from Motorola, NEC and Panasonic Mobile Communications. The
new Motorola ROKR EM30 becomes the 22nd handset model available using
the LiMo Platform(TM), the industry's first collaboratively developed,
Linux-based operating system for mobile devices.

The highly anticipated ROKR EM30--Motorola's eighth LiMo handset--
is a GSM quad-band phone that supports global roaming and offers an
exciting set of compelling music features. The ROKR EM30 is expected
to launch first in Taiwan then in other markets throughout the
quarter. Building upon the success of the ROKR E8, the EM30 is
targeted for mass-market consumers worldwide and includes improved
features including an LCD display, easier D-pad navigation and
built-in GPS functionality to enable an array of location-based
services.

Motorola's announcement of this device gives further evidence that
industry unification around the LiMo Platform can support varied
functionality providing an enhanced mobile experience for consumers
around the globe. Christy Wyatt, Vice President Software Platforms and
Ecosystem, Motorola said: "Motorola is pleased to collaborate with our
peers in the industry to develop the LiMo Platform based on
market-proven technology, such as that in the ROKR EM30. We believe
that LiMo enables our developer partners, operator customers and
distributors to participate in a broader, richer Mobile Linux
ecosystem and deliver greater innovation to our customers."
