For immediate release
Adobe Flash Lite for BREW Brings Enhanced Value to Mobile Developers and
Verizon Wireless Customers
ADOBE MAX 2006, LAS VEGAS - Oct. 25, 2006 - At MAX, Adobe's annual user
conference, Verizon Wireless, Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq: ADBE) and
QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) today announced the availability of
Adobe® Flash® LiteT technology via the Verizon Wireless network. Flash Lite
for BREW® facilitates Flash content to run on Verizon Wireless' Get It
Now®-enabled phones and enables over-the-air distribution, giving Verizon
Wireless customers the ability to purchase applications and automatically
"Flash enable" their phones. The alliance will provide developers in North
America a new way to create and commercialize rich mobile applications and
content that deliver exceptional mobile experiences to millions of Verizon
Wireless customers.

Flash Lite for BREW is currently available on four Get It Now-enabled
Verizon Wireless handsets, including The V (LG VX9800), Motorola Razr V3c
and Motorola V3m and Samsung SCH-a950. The companies expect Flash Lite to be
available on additional handsets in the coming weeks. Verizon Wireless
customers can purchase engaging Flash Lite for BREW content and applications
directly on their phones in Verizon Wireless' Get It Now virtual store.

Ray Taylor, director of product development for Verizon Wireless, said,
"Verizon Wireless' commitment to improving the mobile experiences of our
customers while providing value to our developer and handset partners is an
ongoing priority. By combining Flash Lite with the BREW solution which
enables our Get It Now service, developers have a new way to easily design
and market rich, interactive content to our customers - which includes
everything from screensavers and games to comics and animation."

The Verizon Wireless and Adobe relationship leverages the Flash ecosystem by
offering maximum flexibility to the mobile developer community to create
content including Flash applications, screensavers and casual games for the
BREW solution. Flash Lite for BREW utilizes the key features and benefits of
the Flash authoring tool and the BREW platform, providing developers with a
clear path to market for content distribution.

"As the first carrier to pass the quarterly data revenue benchmark of $1
billion, Verizon Wireless is already the North American leader," said Gary
Kovacs, vice president of product management and marketing, Mobile and
Device Solutions at Adobe. "Its inclusion of Flash Lite is yet another
powerful example of how Verizon Wireless is pioneering the industry by
continually enhancing the mobile content experience for developers and
consumers alike."

"Both BREW and Adobe Flash are successful, industry-proven solutions and
combining their capabilities into Flash Lite for BREW will be a boon to
Flash developers who can take advantage of the BREW business model to
monetize their mobile content," said Mitch Oliver, vice president of
solutions and marketing for QUALCOMM Internet Services. "Verizon Wireless
has long been at the forefront of offering the latest technologies that
benefit its subscribers, and its decision to offer Flash Lite for BREW is a
great addition."

Adobe also announced today that a preview release of the Flash Lite 2.1
Update to Flash® Professional 8 is available for free download on Adobe Labs
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php..._2.1_Authoring , enabling
developers to create, preview and test Flash Lite content and applications
directly in the Flash Professional 8 environment.
