Motorola has announce the successor to the 9000 series devices, called the MC9500.  This new device features Windows Mobile 6.1, but no CE version is listed.  It also has both barcode scanner and 3 megapixel camera options, a VGA (640x480) display, and both GPRS and CMDA radios.

The device family also features field-swappable modules, including the keypad and WAN radios.  This also marks the introduction of a Universal Accessory System, which appears to mean that common batteries and cradles will be used across devices.  We'll be interested to learn more about this.

We presume this new device will be supported in Motorola's EMDK, and if so the ITScriptNet client should run on it as-is.  We will test and confirm this as soon as we can.
