Why Mobile Widgets?
A mobile widget probably is the best way to approach mobile integration with the Web, especially with Web-based Widget-based applications. Because mobile handsets are resource limited, personal, “dedicated” computing devices, and are ideal for consuming one type of function or information at a time, they are ideal for rendering content using the concept of channels. Because Widgets are very good at a specific function, including related user interactions, they are ideal to represent channels, such as a search, weather, stock, and messages channels. This approach allows for integration with the Web that promotes focus on the user interactions and clean information separation, the result is an improved user experience.
