MOTOROLA TEAMS WITH METROWERKS TO OFFER CODEWARRIOR DEVELOPER TOOLS FOR
WIRELESS DEVICES

Tools will help developers create J2ME applications for Motorola's
multiple communication handsets

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., December 4, 2000 -  Motorola (NYSE:MOT) today announced
an initial agreement with Metrowerks(r) to include Metrowerks'
CodeWarrior(r) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) in Motorola's free
Software Developer Kit (SDK) on CD-ROM from the company's iDEN(r)
Subscriber Group. The CodeWarrior IDE provides developers with a complete
set of tools for creating content and applications for wireless devices
based on Sun Microsystems' Java(tm) 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME(tm)). 


Developers can request a free CD-ROM, including CodeWarrior, by
registering on the Motorola developers' support program web site at
www.motorola.com/idendev.1

This memorandum of understanding has been established in anticipation of
Motorola's J2ME technology-enabled multiple communication handsets, which
are expected to be available in the first half of 2001 through iDEN
network operators including Nextel Communications and Southern LINC in the
United States and TELUS Mobility/Clearnet in Canada. By integrating J2ME
technology, these iDEN phones can run local and network-based
applications, allowing developers to extend server-based applications to
the mobile environment. 

"We see tremendous interest from developers in creating applications for
wireless devices and consumer electronics based on the J2ME environment,"
said David Perkins, president and CEO of Metrowerks. "CodeWarrior helps
developers take advantage of this opportunity by allowing them to quickly
create content for J2ME technology-enabled devices like Motorola's
multi-service iDEN handsets." 

Motorola is facilitating the development of applications for this new
handset platform by providing developer support and a commitment to open
application standards. The free CD-ROM is one component of Motorola's
comprehensive developer support program, which includes application
testing, personalized support, global marketing, distribution, billing,
e-commerce backend processing, and end-user support services.

"Metrowerks' CodeWarrior provides developers with the tools they need to
create innovative applications for Motorola's J2ME-enabled multiple
communication phones," said Bill Werner, corporate vice president and
general manager of Motorola's iDEN Subscriber Group. "This agreement
demonstrates our commitment to providing developers with a comprehensive
developer support program to facilitate the development of a wide variety
of applications that end users can download to their iDEN handsets."
