July 29th, 2009 by Arjan Olsder Posted in Platforms: Brew | No Comments »

Qualcomm Over at the Verizon Developer Conference, Verizon and Qualcomm have announced changes to their current mobile games platform in order to stimulate the BREW platform.


In short, Qualcomm will make it possible to provide free applications and games on their platfrom. Together with subsidiary Xiam Technologies, Qualcomm will also include a recommendation engine.

When it comes to processing game submissions, certification will be simplefied and the whole process will be more transparent. There will also be an improvement in time-to-market for submissions.

Ryan Hughes, vice president, Business Development and Partner Management for Verizon, noted, “We are focused on providing tools, distribution and monetization capabilities broadly to the development community. It makes great sense as we move along this path that we encourage apps development in a variety of operating systems and programming languages. There’s a great opportunity for application developers with Verizon Wireless, whether you’re developing for the mass marketplace or business customers, feature phones or smartphones, or all of the above.”

“Qualcomm and Verizon Wireless have worked together for many years to help create a profitable path to market for the mobile developer community,” said Arvin Chander, vice president and general manager of Qualcomm Internet Services. “We are pleased that they will continue to offer new BREW services and look forward to working closely with Verizon Wireless to help drive their content strategy forward.”
