Motorola to enhance MotoBlur service with Zecter

NEW YORK, USA: Motorola Mobility Inc., a subsidiary of Motorola Inc., announced that it has acquired Zecter, Inc., a start-up company that provides synchronization and streaming technologies, for undisclosed terms.

Zecter currently has two products, ZumoDrive, for cloud-based content sync, access and sharing; and ZumoCast, for personal media streaming to any device.

Motorola says that Zecter will enhance the handset maker's mobile content experience and MotoBlur service offering.

Motorola Mobility will integrate Zecter's wireless syncing, desktop integration, video transcoding and thin-file retrieval technologies across its device and MotoBlur offerings.

"Consumers want seamless access to their content and media from wherever they are, while content providers want to ensure that content remains protected and secure,"  said Christy Wyatt, corporate vice president, software and services, Motorola Mobility. "We believe that Zecter enables that seamless experience with the necessary security measures, and we are delighted to be able to work with this team." 

As part of the transition, the distribution of Zecter's ZumoCast software will be suspended while enhancements are made. Existing ZumoCast users may continue to use the service.
