***America Online and Motorola to Bring the AOL Instant Messenger
Service to Next Generation Motorola Wireless Messaging Devices
(February 18)

America Online, Inc., the interactive services company, and
Motorola, Inc., a provider of integrated communications and
embedded electronic solutions, announced today that the companies
are working together to integrate a built-in version of the AOL
Instant Messenger service (AIM) into a wide range of Motorola
wireless handsets. By including the AIM service as an embedded
feature on its wireless devices, Motorola and AOL hope to make it
easier for mobile operators to offer consumers a mobile instant
messaging solution without requiring consumers to install or set
up any software on their wireless device.

The AOL Instant Messenger service is used by millions of Internet
users every day to communicate by text in real time. The AIM
Buddy List feature allows users to immediately see when family,
friends and other contacts are online and available to exchange
instant messages.

The embedded version of the AIM service for mobile devices was
launched last fall and is currently a finalist for the GSM
Association's Best Consumer Application or Service award.

Motorola and AOL will be conducting demonstrations of the built-
in AIM service on Motorola wireless devices in AOL Time Warner's
stand at this week's 3GSM World Congress and exhibition in
Cannes, France.
