Motorola Invests in DARTdevices

Motorola and DARTdevices, a developer of a software technology for consumer devices, have announced that Motorola Ventures, the strategic venture arm of Motorola, has made a Series A investment in the company. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Founded in 2003, DARTdevices has developed software that lets multiple consumer devices directly access the combined content and applications of any DART-enabled device such as mobile phones and PCs. DART software seamlessly addresses the software distribution, versioning, security, hardware compatibility and synchronization issues typically associated with device-to-device interaction.

"DART's solution, which helps facilitate interoperability for multiple applications on disparate devices, aligns well with Motorola's vision of seamless mobility," said Tony Palcheck, investment manager, Motorola Ventures. "Their software allows wired and wireless distribution of applications, games and information such as music, photos, video, calendars and data, across mobile phones, PCs, Internet servers, PDAs, set-tops, MP3 players and DVRs."
