Motorola Screen3 Ticker Tape Technology

557screen 757858 Motorola Screen3 Ticker Tape TechnologyYou need info, then it is probably just a click, or in the case of the new Motorola V557, a screen away. Motorola introduced its V557 cell phone today that features its Screen3 technology. Screen3 “pushes information out to the phone’s idle screen in a “ticker tape” that runs along the bottom of the screen. This technology enables consumers to get news, sports, entertainment, and other premium content and services directly from their mobile device home screen (no buttons to push, no browsers to launch).â€?

Question is, can you tie Screen3 into a commonly used format, such as RSS? Who else can take advantage of this feature?

Motorola’s V557 is available now (we couldn’t find it) from www.Cingular.com for $99.99 with a 2 year service agreement (after $50 mail in rebate).
