S60 Open to new features

There are many reasons why I like Widsets. What is not to like, it allows me to access to the web 2.0 content from my phone. It is based on java. In fact, it is one of the most innovative applications that is running on S60 java platform.

In case you have not heard of WidSets, I recommend you to take a moment and visit WidSets website. In a nustshell, WidSets is a widget platform. Simply put widgets is the name of the general concept of small applications that runs on devices and PCs. Widgets are commonly used to show web content, such as news, blog feeds etc.

One of the features of WidSets that amazes the little engineer in me is WidSets provides a user interface and scripting language itself. In a sense, it is a full-blown platform that runs on top of the java platform. The scripting language is good enough to allow developers to develop small applications, such as sudoku or chat for the platform.

But my vote for best WidSets feature is content discovery. If you are looking for some content to use in your mobile phone, it is probable that WidSets have it. WidSets web site and mobile client provides several ways to explore the available content. The list for the existing content is comprehensive and growing. If you happen to be a content provider then WidSets is an easy way to share that on mobile world and it is amazingly effective. A few days ago, I have experimented with WidSets to create a widget that shows the content of my personal blog and I was surprised to find that I had around 20 users in less than 24 hours.

Overall, WidSets is a highly recommended java application if you are looking for ways to consume web 2.0 content on your S60 phone.
