QUALCOMM Java Solution Gains New Flexibility With Multitasking Capability
SAN DIEGO, June 29 -- QUALCOMM Incorporated
(Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of Code Division Multiple
Access (CDMA) and other advanced wireless technologies, today announced that
select Mobile Station Modem(TM) (MSM(TM)) chipsets now support the concurrent
execution of multiple Java(R) applications. This multitasking capability
extends the existing features of the QUALCOMM Virtual Machine(TM) (QVM(TM))
Java solution and delivers a seamless experience to wireless users
simultaneously running multiple applications. The new multitasking capability
is now available on the MSM6500(TM) solution, and will be available on select
additional chipsets thereafter.
"As Java-enabled mobile handsets support an increasingly broad array of
entertainment and productivity applications, wireless users will demand the
most efficient, seamless experience possible as they run multiple programs,"
said Scott Papineau, director of product management for QUALCOMM CDMA
Technologies. "QUALCOMM's QVM solution now delivers multitasking
functionality, while its integration into our MSM chipset solutions gives our
customers significant performance, cost and time-to-market benefits."
The new Java application concurrency capability, or Multitasking Virtual
Machine (MVM), is offered as part of QUALCOMM's QVM solution and has been
optimized by the Company specifically for its MSM chipsets. The new features
mean that a mobile device can run a Java application to play music, while also
running an email client, for example, and still handle voice calls while
running these applications in the background.
The QVM solution is a complete J2ME(TM) platform that provides support for
Java applications, and is integrated with select QUALCOMM chipsets to deliver
fully optimized, consistent performance. A turnkey solution that offers
device manufacturers reduced time to market and network operators a consistent
Java platform, the QVM solution also provides access to performance-
accelerated features within the Launchpad(TM) suite of integrated
technologies, which includes 3D graphics, audio, video, position-location and
connectivity capabilities.
QUALCOMM Incorporated (www.qualcomm.com) is a leader in developing and
delivering innovative digital wireless communications products and services
based on CDMA and other advanced technologies. Headquartered in San Diego,
Calif., QUALCOMM is included in the S&P 500 Index and is a 2006 FORTUNE 500(R)
