Motorola ROKR Z6

It's out and here, the next gen ROKR music cell phone. What's so different this time around? The ROKR obviously offers full MP3 player capabilities, Linux/Java music phone with Windows MediaTM technologies, including WMA Windows Media DRM 10, and media transfer protocol (MTP). plug and play with any Windows Media Player 10 or 11. With fast PC direct connectivity via High Speed USB 2.0, the Z6 lets you access music you want simply and seamlessly.

A touch-screen and slider edition are some of the major design additions. Other features include:

* One-touch access to your library and pauses music as calls come through.
* A touch of the 4-way navigation wheel gives immediate access to content.
* High Speed USB 2.0 to side-load songs in 2-3 seconds, almost five times faster than a competitive music phone: that's a 500 song library in 15 minutes, instead of 2 hours.
* Windows Media Player on the PC supports playlists, album art, search by genre, artist and more. It even answers calls while you transfer. The ROKR Z6 works right out of the box; Windows Media Player automatically recognizes the device.
* Load up to 2GB microSD cards with your music collection; each holds approximately 1,000 songs and 70 hours of music1 2.
* 10 hours of music enjoyment in airplane mode, battery life concerns are history.

Anybody excited about this one? If you're into music this baby is the rival to the Sony Walkman series. I wasn't impressed so much with the last ROKR but this one is a step up from the past candy bar styled phone.
