Steve Jobs may not think much of Flash but Qualcomm apparently feels differently and has been collaborating with Adobe on a mobile platform that integrates Flash with its Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW) client software and, voilà, the BREW Mobile Platform, which the pair says will create a “new standard for mass-market handset platforms.”

The widgetry will let developers create standalone apps that incorporate mobile device functionality with web content.

You can expect the first release in the fall.

Adobe says it’s part of its Open Screen Project.
