SAN DIEGO—Qualcomm Inc. said it is seeing strong customer demand for its single-chip multimedia solutions, which have been chosen for more than 30 different handset designs from seven wireless device manufacturers across Europe, Japan, South Korea and North America.

The mobile video software includes Qtv, Qcamcorder and Qvideophone, all of which are part of Qualcomm’s Launchpad suite of technologies. So far, LG Electronics’ LP300 in South Korea and Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications’ A1402S for “au” by KDDI in Japan are the only commercially available handsets including the software. Kyocera Corp., Motorola Inc., Pantech & Curitel, Samsung and Sanyo are also developing devices integrated with the solutions.

“Qualcomm’s integrated video solution enables lower power and lower cost video-enabled devices—creating revenue-generating opportunities for operators and in-demand devices for OEMs that take advantage of existing and future video content,” said Luis Pineda, vice president of marketing and product management of Qualcomm CDMA technologies.
