Nokia introduces widget platform for Symbian-based S60

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - April 19, 2007


Nokia's S60 Symbian-based phones now have support for Mac dashboard-like widgets. The Web Run-Time tools that are now available have allowed developers to create widgets for Symbian based phones. This appears to be a first in the mobile industry but don't be surprised if Microsoft jumps into the mix with their own set of widgets.

To run the widgets you'll need Nokia's S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2. Here's a screen cap of a WeatherBug widget.
