MOTOMUSIC expands across Asia

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. and SINGAPORE, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) a global leader in mobile entertainment, has
successfully completed its acquisition of Soundbuzz Pte., Ltd., a leading
pan-Asian music provider. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Today's milestone opens the door for Motorola to extend its successful

addition to a presence in 13 countries in the Asia-Pacific region, licenses
with Sony BMG, EMI, Warner Music International, Universal Music Group, and
over 45 independent record labels from around the world, the acquisition of
Soundbuzz establishes MotoMusic as the leading music platform in the
Asia-Pacific region.
"With the resources of Motorola, we are now able to immediately expand the
digital music offerings available to our customers -- and Motorola's rapidly
growing installed base of handsets throughout the region," said Sudhanshu
Sarronwala, CEO of Soundbuzz. "Clearly, this marks a major milestone, as it
positions Soundbuzz and Motorola to better participate in the ongoing growth
in Asia's booming mobile music download market."
"Music is the heart and soul of the mobile entertainment experience, and
with Soundbuzz as a part of our family, Motorola has the biggest heart and the
most soul in mobile music in Asia," said Ian Chapman-Banks, Vice-President of
Mobile Devices Marketing for Motorola Asia-Pacific.
"With a library of over 750,000 songs and half a million mobile music
derivatives, Motorola now offers the people of the Asia-Pacific region an
extensive music collection, all available for download either via the Internet
or directly onto your mobile device," Chapman-Banks noted.
Soundbuzz will maintain its Singapore headquarters along with other
offices in Mumbai and Sydney, forming a core component of Motorola's evolving
mobile entertainment strategy in the Asia-Pacific region.
