BREW-Enabled Wireless Phones turned into Instant Photo Viewers

dotPhoto unveiled its Pictavision(TM) software that allows consumers to instantly place thousands of pictures onto their wireless handsets. The application was developed for QUALCOMM's Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless(TM) (BREW) platform.

dotPhoto's Pictavision software will revolutionize the wireless handset by making pictures rapidly available to consumers on the go virtually, anytime, anywhere. dotPhoto's Pictavision offers BREW-enabled handset users the ability to access and view an unlimited number of pictures that are stored online on a secure, password-protected dotPhoto account.

dotPhoto's Pictavision application will allow our online customers to share millions of images - including photos and presentations - with family, friends and business contacts using their cell phones," said Glenn Paul, president & CEO, dotPhoto Inc. "Using the BREW platform and Pictavision to standardize Internet-to-cell phone image access, anyone with a BREW-enabled phone will be able to carry their entire family photo album or important business presentations in the palm of their hand."
"dotPhoto's Pictavision is the type of wireless application that demonstrates the cool things that are possible on mobile devices," said Jan Lezny, senior director of developer and OEM relations, QUALCOMM Internet Services. "Using the BREW platform, dotPhoto has moved its current expertise to the wireless space, enabling consumers to share memories with loved ones - even on the go."

QUALCOMM's BREW platform is a thin application execution environment that provides an open, standard platform for wireless devices. The BREW platform is part of a complete, end-to-end solution for wireless applications development, device configuration, application distribution, and billing and payment. The complete BREW solution includes the BREW SDK(TM) (software development kit) for developers, the BREW applications platform and porting tools for device manufacturers, and the BREW Distribution System (BDS) that is controlled and managed by carriers - enabling them to easily get applications from developers to market and coordinate the billing and payment process. Carriers' BREW-based services will enable consumers to customize their handsets by downloading applications over the air from a carrier's application download server. The BREW platform is a product of QUALCOMM Internet Services (QIS), a division within the QUALCOMM Wireless & Internet (QWI) Group of QUALCOMM Incorporated.
