SAN DIEGO, June 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless technologies and mobile data solutions, and Warner Music Group (NYSE: WMG), today announced that WMG is developing a series of over-the-air, downloadable, artist-branded themes for mobile phones, which feature popular WMG artists and are based on QUALCOMM's uiOne(TM) offering.

WMG's artist themes will contain many features, including a series of mobile skins that will allow fans to customize the look and feel of their mobile phones. In one file download, QUALCOMM's uiOne technology also will allow WMG to offer fans additional mobile products, such as ringtones, wallpapers, full-track songs, games and more, from their favorite artists.

QUALCOMM's uiOne offering provides the wireless value chain with the means to advance the wireless experience via rich, integrated and dynamic user interfaces that can be updated over the air.

"uiOne is an important accomplishment in the evolution of mobile personalization products," said George White, senior vice president of strategy and product development, Warner Music Group. "Mobile themes using QUALCOMM's uiOne technology offer a compelling music product that combines images, ringtones and even video in a one file download structure. Fans now have an easy way to personalize the mobile handset to showcase content from their favorite Warner Music artists. We are excited to work with our mobile operator partners to offer uiOne-based themes as part of our ongoing commitment to expand the music-based content our artists produce."

"QUALCOMM is thrilled to work with Warner Music, one of the entertainment industry's marquee names," said Brian Dunphy, senior director and head of brand and affinity relations for QUALCOMM Internet Services.
