Everyone hates to lose keys - spending hours searching for something that practically vanished out of thin air. Look no more - Motorola has the answer. Using RFID technology, the Motorola Digital Paperclip reduces the chance of leaving something behind. For example, placing a Digital Paperclip on a key ring, the technology will inform the mobile phone if the keys are being left behind. Transmitting an ID up to one to two meters, if the user puts the key ring down and walks away, the mobile phone will stop receiving the ID and alert the user. Motorola considers that a friendly reminder.
Imagine a remote control car controlled by a Motorola RF-enabled handset. What makes this mobile marvel possible? It's the fusion of mobile technology and toys! Motorola is exploring new applications for short-range wireless communication technologies - and is having a little fun doing it. Using the 802.15.4 Wireless Personal Area Network (PAN) technology, the handset can control multiple devices such as toys or robots with two-way communications and greater range than a traditional remote control.
Did you ever think you could download music content from your favorite artist's poster and then pay for that content from your mobile phone?

Proceed with caution. MOTODRIVETM is an architecture that leverages Motorola's Mesh networks technology to increase efficiency and traffic flow - bringing the safety benefits of technology to every driver on the road.

Now when there is an accident miles ahead, your car will let you know immediately so slow down.
Forget a dog - now you can have your media follow you as you move through your day because it is "liquid" and changes formats to fit your environment as you move from the home to your car to work and even out in the world.

It even lets you transfer personal video content to your Motorola mobile device - now you can capture your favorite broadcast episodes and take it to go. Perfect for viewing your favorite episodes or news for the daily hurry-up-and-wait commute. Fast Food is over - the new trend is Fast TV - grab a show you'd normally view at home and take it with you so you finish watching while away from the house.
You saw it first in "2001 Space Odyssey" - the perfect videophone. But for the next 30 years, videophones were pretty disappointing. Now Motorola brings to life a lag-free, full motion videophone with crystal clear sound.

The Motorola OjoTM Personal Videophone takes important connections to the next level, letting you share moments via TV quality face-to-face video, high-quality, full-duplex speaker phone with advanced noise reduction and self-viewer on a high-resolution 7-inch screen over your existing broadband connection.
Let your fingers do the talking. In 2004, Motorola launched the first mobile phone (A668) enabled by finger writing recognition. It's easy - all you need to do is write characters (Chinese and Roman) with your finger on the keypad and send what you wrote as an SMS or MMS message. It also learns each user's writing style as characters and integrates with the predictive text engine.

Motorola is taking push-to-talk to the next level, making it possible to merge communications and content, so people can create and share in real-time. Imagine a Push-to-View session with friends who are on the hunt for the perfect pair of green pumps - they spot a pair and call you immediately. They take a picture and send it to you so you can all discuss in real-time how good they will look. Imagine you are relocating from NYC to Los Angeles, your realtor finds the hottest bungalow in Venice Beach, and she calls you to tell you the price - begging you to make an offer. She takes a picture of the pool to entice you even more and sends it to you while you both plan future pool parties.
