Windows Phones to have Widgets

Part of the new Windows Phone and Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system is a feature called widgets.

Bill Fisher from http://www.windowsphoneconnection.com describes the widgets as small applications that are meant to accomplish just one simple thing, such as pulling weather or financial information from the Web. Thanks to the new and improved rendering engine of the new Internet Explorer Mobile, Windows phone supports widgets.

Widgets appear like any normal application in your Start screen, but they are actually reliant on the Web for their data. These little apps are very easy to develop, requiring only knowledge of AJAX, HTML, CSS, or other Web-development languages. They will also be available in the Windows Marketplace for Mobile.

Constantly challenging opinions and looking for new opportunities, Jon develops the product ranges and business activities and very much strives to maintaining growth and taking Clove in to the future.

Never knowing when to stop, he spends too much time in the office! He's very organised; writes lists, reports, spreadsheets, you name it, he's on to it!! When he does relax, however, he can be found driving his pride and joy (his Range Rover Sport), walking his Dog, down the pub or at a local restaurant. He does too like the finer things in life and often lives beyond his means, only the best hotels will do.
