Forum Nokia to Support WidSets Widget Makers

As the global mobile market sizzles – over 3 billion people using mobile phones – Nokia decides to meet the emerging applications demand for consumers. The mobile maker’s developer program, Forum Nokia, has announced help for WidSets developer community. Developers can develop widgets for WidSets and instantly make them available for download to a rapidly growing user base.

WidSets – a mobile content consumption, creation, and sharing service – is getting support from Forum Nokia, Nokia's global developer program. WidSets work on more than 300 mobile device models, which are in use worldwide. Developers can visit http://forum.nokia.com/widsets to get started.

Forum Nokia has launched a developer offering for WidSets to help developers with the required tools and technologies. At forum.nokia.com/widsets, developers will have access to WidSets documentation, the WidSets SDK, and be able to view examples of widgets created through WidSets.

"The Forum Nokia developer community welcomes WidSets with open arms," said Tom Libretto, vice president, Forum Nokia. "Our developers consistently create innovative applications and services.  With the addition of the WidSets developer offering, they’ll now have the ability to easily create and publish widgets through WidSets and collaborate with other developers while doing so."

As developers publish new WidSets widgets directly to the existing widget library, consumers will gain access to Web content optimized for mobiles including news feeds, multiplayer games, and user-generated content. A renewed My Profile widget makes it easy for consumers to share their favorite WidSets content, as well as follow and comment on the content other WidSets members are enjoying.

Consumers can visit widsets.mobi from their mobile device to download the latest widgets.
