i found the Forbes article i was talking about. it doesn't seem to mention anything other than the "royalty" on the application. forbes.com In return Qualcomm collects a toll of as much as 10% of the revenue from each purchase of a Brew application, a lucrative deal that raises eyebrows in the industry. Microsoft does not collect a 10% royalty on applications that work with Windows. For that reason Qualcomm has had a tough time convincing even its loyal CDMA carriers to adopt Brew. Sprint is developing its own software delivery system, based on Java. Brew will also have to compete with an expanding list of services offered by Nokia and its partly owned software partner, Symbian.
