 Nokia Widget
"Mobility will change the
Internet as people are able to access and create information specific to place,
time and context," said Tero Ojanpera, Chief Technology Officer, Nokia.
"Widgets are an important milestone in this development. Introducing
widget support for S60, much of the innovation seen on the Internet today is
being brought to the mobile space for the benefit of the millions of S60 mobile
device users".
The world's leading smartphone
software, S60 on Symbian OS, will be complemented with Web Run-Time, a Web
application development environment, enabling the development of widgets and
integrated Web applications for mobile devices with familiar standards-based
Web technologies, such as Ajax, JavaScript, CSS and HTML.
Web Run-Time is powered by the same
feature rich, open-source environment used by the Web Browser for S60, the
world's first full HTML browser bringing a desktop-like browsing experience to
millions of S60 mobile devices.
Web Run-Time offers numerous
possibilities for Web application development. As the Web Run-Time is built
with standard Web technologies, developers can create new innovative widgets
and also migrate existing widgets from the desktop to S60 with minimal effort.
In the future, widgets will benefit from connecting both to Web 2.0 services,
Web content and to the core applications and capabilities of S60, such as
phonebook, calendar and GPS.
Web Run-Time and widget support will
be available to S60 licensees as part of the S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack
2. Tools, documentation and a software developer kit for widget
development will be made available via Forum Nokia during the third quarter
2007. Widgets will be distributed to users through several channels, one of
which is WidSets, a popular consumer Internet service, which allows users to
personalize their mobile Internet experience.
Nokia will host a live audiocast at
1.15 p.m. CET today as Chief Technology Officer Tero Ojanpera presents how
Nokia and S60 make the Web personal on your mobile. To access the audiocast,

over 84 million S60 enabled devices by the end of 2006. To date, 55 devices

latest S60 3rd Edition.
