New developer offering makes creating, distributing innovative
widgets easier and faster

Espoo, Finland - WidSets, a mobile content consumption, creation and
sharing service is getting a boost from Forum Nokia, Nokia's global
developer program. Developers can easily develop widgets for WidSets
and instantly make them available for download to a rapidly growing
user base. WidSets work on more than 300 mobile device models
currently supporting MIDP 2.0, including some 500 million Series 40
and S60 devices worldwide. Developers can visit


http://forum.nokia.com/widsets to get started.

Forum Nokia has launched a comprehensive developer offering for
WidSets to arm developers with the tools and technologies needed to
take advantage of this unique opportunity for immediate visability to
a content hungry community. At forum.nokia.com/widsets, developers
will have access to WidSets documentation, the WidSets SDK and be
able to view examples of widgets created through WidSets, plus the
ability to contribute to articles and receive feedback from the
world's largest mobile developer community.
"The Forum Nokia developer community welcomes WidSets with open
arms," said Tom Libretto, vice president, Forum Nokia. "Our
developers consistently create innovative applications and services.
With the addition of the WidSets developer offering, they will now
have the ability to easily create and publish widgets through WidSets
and collaborate with other developers while doing so."
As developers publish new WidSets widgets directly to an already
extensive widget library, consumers gain access to popular Web
content optimized for mobile including news feeds, multiplayer games
and a large variety of user-generated content. A renewed My Profile
widget makes it easy for consumers to share their favorite WidSets
content, as well as follow and comment on the content other WidSets
members are enjoying. Consumers can visit widsets.mobi from their
mobile device to download the latest widgets.
