Motorola Cancels MPx
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 12:32 PM
"A Motorola spokesperson today confirmed that the company has canceled production of the MPx Windows Mobile Pocket PC device, confirming a report last week by DigiTimes. Motorola has dropped plans for commercial launch of the device beyond Malaysia and several smaller Asian countries where the phone saw limited release. The company will continue to use the MPx for limited carrier and market trials to learn more about the mobile enterprise market. Motorola emphasized that it is still committed to the mobile professional market..."
While it's unfortunate to see Motorola pull the plug on the MPx, we can hope that they'll be back with something more in line with consumer needs. I've heard that poor build quality was partly responsible for this move, but I wonder if all the negative feedback around the MPx's limited 32 MB of RAM played a small part in the decision?
