Motorola Mobility has acquired ZumoDrive and ZumoCast (Zecter)

Motorola Mobility has acquired Zecter, a start-up with synchronisation and streaming technologies for on-demand digital media consumption.
 
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Zecter's solutions connect users to their content seamlessly and instantaneously, giving them easy access to music, video, photos and documents from their smartphones, tablets, PCs and web-portals.

Zecter currently has two products commercially available: ZumoDrive, for cloud-based content sync, access and sharing http://www.zumodrive.com/ ; and ZumoCast, for personal media streaming to any device. http://www.zumocast.com/  Both products use innovative virtual file system technologies to make any personal content instantly available even if it is not stored locally.

Zecter will further enhance Motorola Mobility's mobile content experience and MOTOBLUR service offering by enabling consumers to enjoy their digital content across their mobile devices, wherever they are.
Motorola Mobility will integrate Zecter's wireless synching, desktop integration, video transcoding and thin-file retrieval technologies across its device and MOTOBLUR offerings to provide consumers with real-time access to their content.

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 without interruption. 

Motorola Mobility will provide regular updates for ZumoCast users as well as future plans for this service. The ZumoDrive solution will be unaffected.
