Continued Innovation, Opening New Avenues

In 2008 the BREW client took a big leap in an exciting new direction with the introduction of Brew Mobile Platform (Brew MP). This operating system platform is designed to support handsets and mobile devices across virtually all market tiers and 3G technologies. The Brew MP SDK is an open and flexible development environment that enables developers and designers to easily create innovative new applications, widgets and custom user interfaces for mass-market handsets and mobile devices. And Brew MP is open to work with any retail solution throughout the global operator and manufacturer community, offering more paths to get your apps to market, including BREW DS.

More Choice, One New Marketplace

Qualcomm's success and experience with the BREW DS serves as the foundation for Plaza Retail, a new solution that will give mobile retailers the power to merchandize applications across platforms. Plaza Retail goes beyond single-platform app stores enabling application retailers to deliver a personalized and consistent shopping experience. Plaza Retail addresses fragmentation by extending the reliability, security and settlement strengths of the BREW DS to include additional platforms, making it easier to manage, promote and personalize content for end users across their entire device portfolio. It opens up a new cross-platform path to revenues and profits for the global community of publishers and application retailers who are building the mobile marketplace.
