LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Japanese video game publisher Sega Corp. (7964.T) on Wednesday said it would develop video games for cellular phones based on a platform developed by Qualcomm Inc. (Nasdaq:QCOM - news)
Qualcomm's BREW, which stands for Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless, is a system for bringing interactive, downloadable content to third-generation cellular phones.
Sega said it would have games ready for BREW-compatible handsets by December.
The deal is Sega's third foray into the handheld arena in the United States. The publisher announced earlier this year that it would abandon hardware to focus on developing games.
Sega also has announced deals to put its games on Palm OS and PocketPC handhelds, though none of those games are available yet. Sega already provides games for three different cell phone platforms in Japan.
Qualcomm said Korea Telecom Freetel would be the first carrier in the world to run a commercial trial of BREW services, with 5,000 customers expected to take part. The full Korean service will roll out in November, the company said.
In the United States, cellular carriers like Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ - news) subsidiary Verizon Wireless and Alltel Corp. (NYSE:AT - news) have said they will support BREW on their networks. |
