Qualcomm Takes Eudora Open Source

QUALCOMM Launches Project in Collaboration with Mozilla Foundation to
Develop Open Source Version of Eudora Email Program

-- Open Source Version of Eudora will be Free of Charge; Final Commercial
Versions of Classic Eudora for Windows and Mac Available Now --

SAN DIEGO -- October 11, 2006 -- QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a
leading developer and innovator of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and
other advanced wireless technologies, and the Mozilla Foundation, a
public-benefit organization dedicated to promoting choice and innovation on
the Internet, today announced that future versions of Eudora will be based
upon the same technology platform as the open source Mozilla Thunderbird
email program. Future versions of Eudora will be free and open source,
while retaining Eudora's uniquely rich feature set and productivity
enhancements. QUALCOMM and Mozilla will each participate in, and continue
to foster development communities based around the open source Mozilla
project, with a view to enhancing the capabilities and ease of use of both
Eudora and Thunderbird.

QUALCOMM also today announced that it has released the final commercial
versions of the current Eudora products for Windows and Mac operating
systems. The open source version of Eudora is targeted to release during
the first half of calendar year 2007. Once the open source version of
Eudora is released, QUALCOMM will cease to sell Eudora commercially. In the
interim, QUALCOMM will continue commercial sales, at a reduced price of
$19.95 and with a six-month period of technical support. Existing technical
support commitments will be honored in their entirety.

"I'm excited for Eudora to be returning to the open source community," said
Steve Dorner, vice president of technology for QUALCOMM's Eudora Group.
"Using the Mozilla Thunderbird technology platform as a basis for future
versions of Eudora will provide some key infrastructure that the existing
versions lacked, such as a cross-platform code base and a world-class
display engine. Making it open source will bring more developers to bear on
Eudora than ever before."

"We're pleased to welcome Eudora and its millions of users to the world of
open source," said Frank Hecker, executive director of the Mozilla
Foundation. "This effort should further enrich the Thunderbird technology
platform and provide users of both products with an even richer email
experience."

More information about the open source version of Eudora and details for
existing customers of the classic version of Eudora can be found at

More information on all the new features of the classic version of Eudora
7.1 and 6.2.4 can be found at www.eudora.com/windows and www.eudora.com/mac.

Established in July 2003, the Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit
organization whose mission is to promote choice and innovation on the
Internet. The Foundation provides organizational, legal and financial
support for the Mozilla open source software project. It coordinates a
range of contributors, including the activities of its wholly owned
