QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), pioneer and world leader of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) digital wireless technology, today announced that it will offer live demonstrations of wireless Internet applications developed for QUALCOMM's Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless(TM) (BREW(TM)) applications platform for wireless devices. The demonstrations will take place at "BREW 2001: Developer and 3G Technology Conference," which begins today at the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina in San Diego.

"The wireless industry has long searched for the 'killer app.' We believe that having the freedom to choose from a wide variety of applications is the 'killer app,'" said Peggy Johnson, senior vice president of QUALCOMM and general manager of QUALCOMM Internet Services. "The BREW platform enables developers and carriers to create and provide exciting new applications to bring us another step closer to a genuinely useful wireless Internet."

The BREW platform is a very thin applications environment for wireless devices. It provides applications developers with an open, standard platform upon which to develop their products.
