Motorola Mobility today announced that it has acquired a company called Zecter for an undisclosed sum. Zecter makes software and services that allow devices to remotely access media content. Zecter's products could let Motorola customers access music, video, photos and documents from their smartphones, tablets, PCs and desktop browsers. The company markets two major products, ZumoDrive (content access and sharing) and ZumoCast (media streaming). Motorola said it will fold Zecter's products and services into its Motoblur development team, where it expects to enable these features for its Android handsets.
