Motorola Introduces Motofolio Content Source for Mobile Ecosystem

System allows network operators to manage an array of compelling content

Developers can register applications, leverage Motorola distribution channels

CANNES, France -- 17 February 2003 – Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today unveiled Motofolio, a web-based wireless content publishing and sourcing system. Motofolio provides rich content to operators and accompanying services to software developers, including financial reconciliation.

Through Motofolio, Motorola offers network operators a “one-stop shop” for all content needs, allowing them to market differentiated offerings that help raise average revenue per user. The Motofolio solution will be demonstrated at 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, France, at the Motorola stand, A21, Hall 1, Palais des Festivals.

Motofolio is a key element of Motorola's end-to-end digital content distribution offering. It enables content distribution and provisioning systems to have access to Motorola's library of digital content featuring Java 2™ Microedition (J2ME™)-based applications. This content includes popular, name-brand games as well as state-of-the-art, productivity-enhancing applications.

Motofolio offers a broad selection of content for multiple devices and it will allow network operators and distribution partners to search and deploy content for different devices, languages and more. It will also manage all financial reconciliation with third party software developers. This allows operators to leverage Motorola’s global business development efforts for acquiring compelling, revenue-generating content.

“Motorola has demonstrated its commitment to providing customised solutions that supply the demands of network operators,” said Michael Bordelon, corporate vice president and general manager of the Consumer Experience Planning and Software organisation in Motorola’s Personal Communications Sector. “Motofolio will allow a mutually beneficial exchange between operators and content developers, all based on Java technology, the preferred platform for application development.”

While Motofolio may be implemented with any operator’s content distribution system, Motofolio will offer out-of-the-box integration with the 4thpass MAS smart provisioning technology. MAS powers some features in Motofolio. It allows operators to offer multiple billing methods for content, including try-before-you-buy, and MAS ensures content is delivered to the right devices.

The Motofolio service is provided to registered Motorola developers as part of the Motocoder program. This program allows developers to publish their wireless content with Motorola, giving them access to Motorola's worldwide distribution channels. Motorola will market developers’ applications to a global audience including consumers and operators, bringing more choice to the marketplace. Developers will be able to focus on developing future applications, and Motorola will provide them with the tools to track downloads, uptake, and profit generated by their applications.

Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) is a global leader in providing integrated communications and embedded electronic solutions. Sales in 2002 were $26.7 billion. Motorola is a global corporate citizen dedicated to ethical business practices and pioneering important technologies that make things smarter and life better for people, honoured traditions that began when the company was founded 75 years ago this year.
