Gadgets

The approach fits particularly well on mobile world, where space on screen is limited and where it’s not easy to switch between applications. The interest of widget is both for users and developers in the following ways:

  • For the developer, he can easily develop and deploy application for end user.
Widget will be the equivalent of “Web2.0″ app for mobile: adapted to small screen size, solving in an elegant way the portability issue, providing real interest for the end user it’s certain that this kind of application will become more frequent in the future months.
