Eidos has signed an agreement with US mobile operator Qualcomm to develop versions of its games - including Tomb Raider and Thief - for mobile phones enabled with Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (Brew).

Simon Protheroe, director of new media and online technologies at Eidos, said: "Brew has helped increase user demand in the wireless gaming industry, and Eidos wants to tap into this rapidly growing market place.

"We look forward to working with Qualcomm and using the technical and business capabilities of the Brew solution to distribute our major franchises to mobile users around the world."

Qualcomm's Brew system is designed to support advanced applications and services for wireless handsets, including games, position location and productivity software, as well as enabling user interface support and customisation.

Mike Yuen, director of Brew developer relations for Qualcomm Internet Services, added: "Qualcomm is very pleased to have a leading company like Eidos join the growing ranks of high-calibre Brew publishers that are providing leading-edge games to mobile users."
