The company also announced today that it has received investment from leading venture capital firms Noro-Moseley Partners and Wakefield Group.

PocketGear provides a platform connecting millions of people around the world with smartphone applications from a network of more than 30,000 developers. PocketGear powers smartphone application distribution for direct channels including PocketGear.com, SymbianGear.com, PalmGear.com, Smartphone.net, and Mobile2Day.de and for more than 15 partners including Palm, Sony Ericsson, Sprint, T-Online, and AOL. Since its inception, PocketGear has powered more than 100 million downloads to smartphones and mobile devices from a catalog of more than 50,000 applications.

"Mobile phones are increasingly smartphones that run advanced operating systems such as Palm OS, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, Symbian OS or Linux, and Apple's iPhone and Google's Android are helping accelerate smartphone adoption," said Jud Bowman, President and CEO of PocketGear. "The smartphone application market is poised for significant growth, and PocketGear is a platform that connects more than 30,000 developers of smartphone applications with millions of smartphone users around the world."

The new company will be headquartered in Durham, North Carolina with offices in Munich, Germany.

"While it's difficult to leave Motricity, I'm incredibly excited about the opportunity to lead PocketGear and build a great company based in the Research Triangle Park area of North Carolina," said Bowman.

PocketGear also announced that Mike Elliott, General Partner at Noro-Moseley Partners, and Steve Nelson, Managing Director of Wakefield Group, have joined PocketGear's board of directors.

"Noro-Moseley backs great entrepreneurs and we couldn't be more excited to invest in Jud Bowman and PocketGear," said Mike Elliott, General Partner at Noro-Moseley Partners. "We believe the market for smartphone content and applications is set for exponential growth and that PocketGear's technology, customers, and developer community are perfectly positioned to capture this opportunity."

"I've had the chance to know and work closely with Jud Bowman for the past eight years in helping build Motricity," said Steve Nelson, Managing Director of Wakefield Group. "I couldn't be more excited about the chance to do it again and help build PocketGear into one of the largest providers of content and applications for smartphones."

The sale includes Motricity's direct-to-consumer businesses PocketGear.com, SymbianGear.com, PalmGear.com, Smartphone.net, Mobile2Day.de, and smartphone application storefronts powered for partners including Palm, Sony Ericsson and AOL.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

"The divestiture of our smartphone and direct-to-consumer businesses supports Motricity's commitment to continue to strengthen our focus on our core business of providing mobile content infrastructure and services for the leading global mobile operators," said Ryan Wuerch, chairman and chief executive officer of Motricity. "The direct-to-consumer business was part of the foundation of Motricity and has strong potential for continued growth. However, it is no longer aligned with the strategic focus of the company.

"This transaction will enable many of the same employees that have worked with this part of Motricity for years to continue to operate the business. Jud played such an integral role in Motricity's success and I'm confident he'll have the same success with PocketGear," Wuerch added.

PocketGear will assume responsibility for Motricity's smartphone and direct-to-consumer businesses immediately. Customers and partners of the affected businesses can expect business as usual with a seamless transition and no interruption to service.

"I am very proud of what we built at Motricity over the last eight years," said Jud Bowman, president and chief executive officer of PocketGear. "Today the company is the leading provider of mobile content infrastructure and services, powering some of the largest operators in the world. I look forward to Motricity's continued growth and success.

"While it's difficult to leave Motricity, I'm incredibly excited about the opportunity to lead PocketGear and believe the smartphone application market is poised for significant growth," Bowman added.

In conjunction with the closing of the transaction, Bowman has resigned his position on the Motricity board of directors.
