WidSets is a mobile runtime technology, and a mobile service powered by the said technology, based on the Java MIDP 2.0 platform, from the Finnish mobile company Nokia. it is both a widget engine and a widget deployment service where mini-applications called widgets can be uploaded to WidSets servers to be compiled and then automatically deployed to MIDP 2.0 compliant mobile phones running the WidSets client software. The widgets are created using Extensible Markup Language (XML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and Helium scripting language. Widsets is a combined application and service that is similar to what a Widget does on a desktop PC ,on a wide variety of mobile phones. Widsets are micro-applications intended to perform a single function. Widsets like widgets, generally rely on some kind of web service to provide information to the user.

Brendan Johan LeeThe GSMBLOG.net widsets have been updated and several errors corrected. The largest improvement is the fact that the Norwegian widset now actually show Norwegian characters. I have also fixed a bug in the source preventing the latest articles from being shown and fixed a couple of small error that prevented the RSS feed from being validated. I will soon publish an article on barcode encoding tools for 2D barcodes, and the test of the 5 last barcode readers. The barcode game will also get new access points soon.
