SEOUL, South Korea, April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Com2uS, a leading mobile entertainment content provider, today announced that it has successfully delivered wireless applications developed for QUALCOMM's Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless(TM) (BREW) platform to China Unicom, the second largest wireless service provider in China. Com2uS is one of the first developers to export BREW applications to China for China Unicom's wireless subscribers. The company has also exported its BREW-enabled applications to the United States for Verizon Wireless' Get It Now(SM) service and is in the process of bringing applications to Japan via KDDI's BREW service offering.

"QUALCOMM is committed to providing wireless developers with a global marketplace and business model for their applications and content," said Jan Lezny, senior director of developer and OEM relations, QUALCOMM Internet Services. "Com2uS' ability to provide wireless games to China Unicom, KDDI, Verizon Wireless and ALLTEL, exemplifies the global virtual marketplace the BREW solution is creating. Through BREW, companies -- regardless of their location and size -- have a solution that helps them benefit from the maturation of wireless data services around the world."
The Com2uS applications currently available on China Unicom's catalog of BREW-enabled applications include COM2US Bowling(TM), COM2US Skippedy SEED(TM), and COM2US Glider Action(TM). These applications, as well as COM2US Reversi(TM) and COM2US Rebel Pebble(TM), are also available on Verizon Wireless' BREW-based Get It Now(SM) service.
Deployments of the BREW solution continue as operators throughout the world join Verizon Wireless and ALLTEL in the United States, KTF in South Korea, KDDI in Japan, China Unicom, the joint venture between Telefonica Moviles and Portugal Telecom in Brazil and Telstra in Australia, in commercializing BREW-based services.
