Codeonline
In its announcement, Codeonline said AOL Time Warner, Bertelsmann AG and Motorola Venture, the investment arm of Motorola, have strengthened the company’s financial base. Terms of investment deals were not disclosed.

Motorola’s equity share is an expansion of its investment commitment of last February. Motorola’s interest stems from its long-term strategy to accelerate the development and deployment of interactive mobile gaming on its cell phones. To date Motorola has helped provide Codeonline’s interactive gaming to over 250 million mobile users worldwide, leveraging major brands like ‘Who wants to be a Millionaire?’ and ‘Trivial Pursuit.’

The two entertainment conglomerates, AOL Time Warner and Bertelsmann, are also looking to Codeonline to further their respective mobile strategies.
