Qualcomm and Adobe Systems say that their new BREW platform will now support Adobe Flash technology.

The two companies say this is a significant move for developers.

At Qualcomm’s annual BREW conference yesterday, about 400 people attended one session devoted to Flash technology, and another session was scheduled for today.

The BREW Mobile Platform will be supported by development tools provided by both Qualcomm and Adobe, the companies said. Flash designers and developers can use Adobe's existing Flash development tools, including Adobe Flash CS-3 Professional, Adobe Device Central CS3 and others in Adobe Creative Suite 3, to deploy rich Flash-based applications.

Qualcomm and Adobe are working together in providing an increasingly streamlined developer workflow with subsequent releases of their respective tools, they said in a press release.

Qualcomm also entered into a license agreement with Kirusa, a vendor of voice SMS services, to customize and integrate Qualcomm’s Short Voice Service client technology into Kirusa’s Voice SMS platform for distribution to wireless operators, device makers and OEMs worldwide.

In other news, Qualcomm announced the latest addition to its line of Bluetooth solutions.

The BTS-4025 system-on-a-chip offers support for the latest Bluetooth 2.1 + Enhanced Data Rate specification, as well as better RF performance in a smaller, more power-efficient package, Qualcomm said.
