Motorola Opus hits the web

Since Motorola had such a hit with their first Android device, the DROID, on Verizon wireless, it’s not surprising that we would see another Google powered device coming from them. This new device, titled the Motorola Opus, has now been spec’d out:

• 3.1″ HVGA 320×480 capacitive touchscreen display
• 3 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash
• Accelerometer
• Proximity sensor
• Wi-Fi 802.11b/g
• Bluetooth
• microSD card slot
• 2.5mm headset jack
• Home, Menu, Back, Speaker buttons are capacitive buttons with haptic feedback
• iDEN PTT & PTX
• Android LBS which is integrated into the iDEN GPS engine
• “Enterprise email”
• Plastic-molded housing with some rubberized texture finishes
• 58mm in width, 118mm in length
• 100g weight
• 512MB Flash / 256MB of RAM
• 64k and 128k iDEN SIM card support
• A-GPS
• Motorola dual-mic technology noise-canceling for noisy environments
• Flash Lite v3.1.x
• Some of the preloaded apps include: corporate email client with ActiveSync support, MOTONAV navigation app, barcode scanner, and document viewer.

While this is not a particularly amazing device spec wise, I think that’s what they are shooting for. With the high-range device covered by the DROID, they can now focus on releasing a cheaper device for a more average user.
