Nokia today opens up its widgets download sites for the latest S60 series device users. These widgets offers quick and easy way to access news, weather, sports and more to your phones. We've downloaded a few of them on our Nokia N95 and were impressed by the selection of widgets and the running speed. Here is more info from Nokia:
Nokia now offers free downloadable, standalone widgets enabled by Web Runtime Technology (WRT) for the latest S60-based devices. The new widgets are available on widgets.nokia.mobi.
Here are the highpoints:
WRT makes it easy for anyone with Web development and design skills to create mobile applications. Developers can port desktop widgets to WRT with very little effort ? using existing authoring tools.
WRT supports standard Web technologies (html, Ajax, JavaScript, etc.), which opens up a whole new range of possibilities for social networking and location based services.
The new Nokia WRT widgets use the same service back-end as Nokia?s WidSets mobile widget community to optimize content for mobile environments, so the operations end of the equation is taken care of.
You can check out the new WRT-based widgets on widgets.nokia.com
