SAN DIEGO, Oct. 30 -- QUALCOMM Incorporated
(Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless
technologies and mobile data solutions, today announced an open call for
submissions for the BREW(R) 2007 Developer Awards. BREW publishers and
developers are invited to submit their top BREW applications for consideration
by completing an online entry form and providing a demo of their application.
The submission deadline is February 28, 2007. Finalists will be announced on
the BREW 2007 Web site on May 21 and winners will be revealed at the awards
ceremony hosted during the BREW 2007 Conference, being held June 20 - 22, in
San Diego at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. For more information, visit:

"Over the course of the year, we have seen the development of many amazing
applications, especially as high-speed 3G networks continue to grow
worldwide," said Mitch Oliver, vice president of solutions and marketing at
QUALCOMM Internet Services. "We expect to see some tough contenders for the
2007 program and the results are sure to be impressive. We're excited to see
what BREW publishers and developers have to offer and look forward to
showcasing their innovation and creativity."
The BREW 2007 Developer Awards program consists of the following eight
categories:
Best Up and Coming Application
Best Public Service Application (new category)
Best Business or Productivity Application
Best Location-Based Service Application
Best Community Application (formerly Best Communications Application)
Best Entertainment Application
Best Game Application
People's Choice Award
Added to this year's awards program is the Best Public Service Application
category, which represents those BREW applications created to strengthen the
economic and social development of underserved communities across the globe
through the use of 3G wireless technology. QUALCOMM also has updated the Best
Community Application category (formerly Best Communications Application) for
BREW applications designed to encourage social networking or improve
communications such as blogging, email, instant messaging or image/photo-
sharing.
Except for the Best Up and Coming Application category, which is reserved
for pre-commercial BREW applications, any application that is commercially
available by February 28, 2007, from an operator offering BREW products and
services, is eligible for submission. For the Best Public Service Application
category, both pre-commercial and commercial entries will be considered.
An anonymous panel of wireless industry experts from around the world will
evaluate entries. Using a "scorecard" system for each entry, judging will be
based on the following criteria: ease of use, originality, "cool" factor,
features and likelihood of success (for pre-commercial entries in the Best Up
and Coming Application and Best Public Service Application categories) or
shows evidence of success (for all other categories). Three finalists per
award category will be selected based on a points system. Finalists in all
categories, excluding Best Up and Coming, will then be eligible for the
People's Choice Award, the winner of which is selected based on votes cast by
conference attendees.
