Report of the Week IX: There’s more to Widsets than just Pets

S60 Ambassadors - August 13th, 2008 - Written by Daniel Shugrue

sigma421 sent in this timely reminder that there’s so much more to Widsets than just the cute cuddlies (who manage to stay hungry even after loads of burger, beer and steak - arrrgh).

Check out the report:

Although the WidSet pets application is the main focus of this campaign I have also used it as an reason to show people around The WidSets application as a whole.

For example recently while on a delayed train with a friend (a sadly all too common occurrence in this part of the world), I took the time to show off WidSets. Firstly letting her know that I was an S60 ambassador and quickly explaining what the meant (as well as showing off my Bluetooth Headset from The Share on Ovi campaign. First of all I started The WidSets application on my phone and showed her The WidSet pets feature of The WidSets application, she found the idea interesting but to be honest she found the other features of the WidSets application such as the Widgets concerning News and Weather Forecasts more interesting and more relevant to her. She was excited by the idea of widgets on a mobile phone and the ability to take in lots of information very quickly.

Just goes to show there is something for everyone even in S60 even if its not what you expected it to be.

He is so right! The Widset Pets app is just a fun window into the many useful widgets available via the WidSets service. Check out the Widgets Library - its got 6411 widgets available already. Now there’s something for everyone!

sigma421 your loaner is going to be in the mail shortly - an N82 ought to complement that Bluetooth Headset nicely. :-)
