The music you want - when and where you want it
From music-optimized devices and accessories to new services that help you discover your next must-hear, must-have and must-share tune, Motorola brings you the latest innovations in the union of music, media and mobility with its new MOTOMUSIC platform:

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

device is a mobile communications and entertainment center for those
who need to keep their work, life and entertainment organized and
looking good. With the MOTOMING phone's large transparent window,
