iPhone Widgets Platform SDK

What do you think about develope your own widgets in the iPhone. Perhaps with the SDK presentation a Widget platform will be introduced. In the XCode 3.0 there are an interesing SDK to develope our own widgets. Perhaps take advantage with Dahscode is to use it on the iPhone.


And also a lot of widgets already developed could be used on the iPhone. I think the use of dashcode on the iPhone is really interesting for the industry and every important mobile company as Nokia or Microsoft has their own widget platform. Apple must to take part in the mobile widget market.

The Microsoft widget platform is zumobi. This solution is only for Windows Mobile based phones.

Yahoo! Pipes.

Do you know Mashups?. Yahoo! has developed an interesting plattform to build your own Mashups. It's a simple web UI with flow graphics where you can connect wen 2.0 sources to get information and manipulate it and finally show in the pipe exit. The app was called pipes perhaps for the similar aspect.

The Yahoo! pipes web site. You can design here your own pipes and view an interesting video about build pipes, really very easy and powerfull.

Uses Of Vodafone Mobile Script

There are four interesting videos using the MobileScript Engine. Allowing developers write easy code to access every phone function. All these widgets has been developed using HTML and JavaScript. These demos are running on a Windows Mobile phone. An interesting video is Virtual Desktop, a entire phone interface that integrate web 2.0 services allowing users make a relation between the phone data and the internet data. The services used by these interface are Google Maps, Weather Bug, Flickr and Facebook. Also you can view profiles into the same interface, for example if you are in away profile the phone shows where you are and the weather for this city. Enjoy these videos, and please left a comment telling what you think.

These software was implemented between two Vodafone R&D Locations : Newbury (UK) and Huesca (Spain).
