People keen on keeping a tab on the latest news coming from the mobile industry may be interested in this one. Opera Software and Qualcomm are teaming up together to pre-install the Opera Mobile 10 and Opera Mini 5 browsers with Qualcomm’s Brew Mobile Platform operating system.
This joint effort would offer mobile phone manufacturers with a streamlined and capable means to provide Opera browsers on Brew MP handsets.
Roy Satterthwaite, senior vice president, Americas, Opera Software, stated “Opera has a strong track record of delivering a rich and compelling experience on handheld devices, and we are pleased to now be offering an easier way for handset manufacturers to deliver that experience on their Brew MP devices. We look forward to supporting the launch of Brew MP devices that feature our browsers,”
“Qualcomm is streamlining the commercialization of Brew MP devices – and a broad range of innovative applications for those devices – by working closely with companies like Opera Software to pre-integrate key software solutions with our OS. We are very excited about helping our device manufacturing customers more easily capitalize on the synergies that exist between the powerful capabilities of Opera’s browsers and the flexibility and robustness of our Brew MP operating system,” stated, Jason Kenagy, vice president of product management for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies.
Under Qualcomm’s 3Pre program, the company is working with important software providers like Opera Software to optimize, pre-integrate and dispense vital software constituents with the Brew MP operating system. This enables developers to give out their applications before the release of new phones so as to decrease development time and expenses.
The 3Pre program delivers applications from numerous software companies for several application kinds counting browsers, messaging, navigation and many more.
