Nokia has launched a new Web 2.0 service, Widsets to enable its users to configure web content on their handsets, irrespective of the brand being used. WidSets allows users to build a Content Library, choose content such as RSS feeds, blog posts and photos and upload multicasted sites to any new generation Java enabled mobile device. Nokia claims that WidSets will be attractive to new users of Web 2.0 since it is easy to use and easily accessible. Users are required to visit the WidSets website, create an account, browse the Library, and start exploring the service. Dieter May, Vice President and Head of Nokia Emerging Business Unit said, "We wanted WidSets to be fun to use, so we based the user interface on great-looking and dynamic mini-applications called widgets that automatically receive updates from websites that people normally visit several times a day. Whenever the information on a community, blog, or news service is updated, the widget notifies the user about it, so that the information can be viewed right away, regardless of where the user is located. And if users can't find their favorite internet service on WidSets, they can easily create and publish widgets themselves, and share the content with others." Features of the new service include templates that allow users to include their own websites or blogs, or that of others they choose. The WidSets user interface claims to be easy to use and fast. Moreover, signing up to WidSets is free of charge and the service is optimized for minimal data consumption. Click here to access the Widsets service. |
