Motorola ROKR E8 Video playback

Motorola has released ROKR E8 for a long time in CES. Its outstanding point is “the mode switching”, referring to the change from the mobile phone mode to music player. The

whole process just needs one click, since ROKR E8 is a switchable keyboard. When it is in the time of standby, you can not see any keyboard in the surface of the mobile phone.

Once it is activated, there will be the virtual number keyboard. Press the music key then it will switch into the music keyboard. ROKR E8 is the touchable keyboard, but it has

the tactile feedback (vibration) to give you the confirmation. Motorola ROKR E8 has a FastScroll guide key. The speed-Variable touchable operating makes you look through and

find the needed music, friends, calendar, and multi-media and so on. Motorola ROKR E8 uses a 2.0 inch LCD screen with the horizontal QVGA resolution (240x320). The layout

of the standby interface is similar as that of the last generation Linux Smart phones E2 with non-touchable interface. It can specify the shortcut key for the four directions

and can be changeable in the setting menu.

After looking through most the review passages, I do not find the information about the capability of E8 video playback and the supported formats. As far as the most medias’

reports, E8 is supposed to use the Linux operating system of the non-touchable screen and at least CPU is over 500MHz. So I am very curious and borrowed E8 from my friend to

have a try. It works well with pavtuve video conveter. And convert various video formats into the following formats. The

process of playbadk is going very well.

The video formats:
MPEG4+AAC (*.MP4 ending): QVGA (320*240); 25fps; equal to 64kbps.
H.263+AAC: QVGA (320*240); 15fps; equal to 64kbps.
Real Audio + Video (*.RM ending): QVGA (320*240); 15kbps.
