Motorola, AOL in Deal

Motorola Inc., the second-largest maker of wireless phones, will include AOL Time Warner Inc.’s Instant Messenger e-mail service on its mobile devices and advertise through the biggest media and Internet company.

The companies didn’t disclose terms of the “multimillion-dollar, multiyear” agreement.

Instant Messenger allows users to send e-mails that pop up immediately on the recipient’s screen.

Motorola will license content from AOL Time Warner’s Warner Bros. movie studio, including Looney Tunes characters, for ring tones, screen savers and wireless games on phones and pagers in Europe, the companies said.

Motorola also will advertise on AOL Time Warner properties, including the Turner television networks, Time Inc. magazines and the America Online Web service.

Two weeks ago, Motorola said it would work with America Online to add Internet services such as e-mail and instant messaging to its cable television set-top boxes.
