Transfer Pictures From Motorola Cell Phone to Computer With USB
Digital image quality has increased with each generation of modern cell phones. Due to the increase in quality, cell phones have become a venerable alternative to a traditional point-and-shoot digital camera. However, every cell-phone manufacturer differs in the methods it provides for the user to transfer photographs between the phone and a computer. Most, if not all, manufacturers have made it necessary to utilize their own proprietary software to connect your phone to your computer. Motorola is no exception, having designed its own specialized software for use with its phones. All of the most modern cell phones are now equipped to interact with a computer via the Universal Serial Bus (USB) sockets commonly found on most systems.
