Thread: Widsets is no more Beta - Nokia

WidSets has emerged from Beta with new features

Nokia today announced that its pioneering Internet service called WidSets, which was launched 1 year back, is now on new service platform instead of Beta. WidSets will have better mobile widget library and nice usability by localizing mobile clients. WidSets will also get advertising in as the primary business model. All Java enabled handsets form different manufacturers will support WidSets, so now users are just one click away from accessing online content without needing to use a mobile browser.

Widset already have more than 3 million registered users from 300 models of mobile devices.

It will be very simple to use, all you need to do is enter the web address , click the select the feed and then you will have private widget.

The innovative Explore characteristic for searching widgets offers an option to perform a live search, filter through suggested widgets, or go through tags or categories, and download them for use on mobile devices.

WidSets now offers a exclusive advertising model to commercial customers for providing two-way-interaction between the advertiser and their customers or prospects.\

On the WidSets website people can review the widgets and see the latest, most popular or top rated widgets and share those with others. And now this can also be done from the mobile device. One of the latest widgets is for AccuWeather.com, which is expected to rapidly become one of the top ranked widgets in the WidSets library.

The WidSets mobile dashboard can also now be shared. This means that when creating a profile, users may share their own dashboard and widgets with the others, and see what the other "WidSeteers" are using as well as how they look like, thanks to the user images available in dashboards.

Nokia plans to pre-install WidSets in tens of millions of mobile phones during 2008, and enabling service support in tens of different languages. The recently unveiled Nokia 8800 Arte which will start shipping in the fourth quarter of 2007 will be the first handset to offer WidSets to its style-conscious consumers. In addition, users can already get started with WidSets via the Download! folder on all Nokia Nseries and Eseries devices.
