Launched only in
October 2006, WidSets today announced that it has reached 1 million
registered users worldwide.
WidSets is a handset manufacturer-independent service that brings the
best bits of the Internet, such as communities, news, blogs, reviews, and
weather reports straight to the mobile phone. It uses mini-applications
called widgets to deliver up to date Internet content to mobile phones and
enables the user to create their own widgets.
WidSets has evolved its social networking service further and developed
also new sharing features for Email and Private Chat. The comprehensive
WidSets library currently has more than 1500 widgets. The widgets deliver
an alert when someone has posted a comment to a blog, informs the user
about a traffic jam, and makes it possible to play games and interact with
individual web communities from the mobile phone.
WidSets works on a wide variety of mobile phone brands and is
compatible on more than 300 mobile devices. User can easily download
WidSets at http://www.widsets.com or on mobile at get.widsets.com. WidSets was
born out of Nokia Emerging Business Unit and represents a first step in
Nokia's vision of mobilising the Internet.
