On Wednesday evening me (Wojtek) and Maciek (Widget Project leader) boarded a plane to LHR and on the following morning we had the opportunity to meet the Samsung Mobile Innovator Symbian platfrom team. As the result of this short trip we finally meet in person our colleagues and discussed wide range of issues including current status of widget-related projects and (what is more important) shared our widget related ideas and experiences. First few minutes chatting with Andrew gave us a strong impression we all share the same vision and all of us are aware of the widget ecosystem importance for shape of mobile communication in near future.
In some aspects our teams do similar work and it will be really beneficial for us (in the Widget development team) to learn from the Symbian guys knowledge and expertise. We hope we can share our technical skills in area of widget development in exchange. In addition this is the opportunity for us to extend numbers of channels for support and contribution to widget developers community. Keep eye on news at Samsung Mobile Innovator website as the results of our work will be going live soon...
PS. Thanks guys, it was pleasure to meet you!

Great minds think alike
With Samsung IQ in its final weeks it looks like Samsung Mobile Widgets are on everybody’s minds at the moment.
We have just released the third in our Series of Technical Papers on Widgets. Following on from his great Case Studies on MyWeather and GyPSii, Richard Bloor’s latest paper is titled Creating Samsung Mobile Widgets for Samsung S60 devices and it really pulls the mobile widget story from Samsung together. As well as a great overview of the mobile widget world, Richard unpacks the technical specifications of Samsung’s implementation of mobile widgets on the Touch Wiz UI.
No sooner had we released our Technical paper, than we discover that Rafe Blandford at All About Symbian has been doing some investigations of his own into Samsung Mobile Widgets (he uses the term “TouchWiz widget” which is the same thing). He also provides a great working example with a nifty Samsung Mobile Widget that opens a link to the All About Symbian website. Well worth a look if you wanted to make your own shortcut links, but weren’t sure how. Rafe also offers to put any widgets you produce for the i8910 HD up on the All About Symbian Website – yet another channel open for widget developers to share their handiwork with the world.
All up, if you have skills in HTML, JavaScript and CSS, (and as Rafe suggests a bit of imagination) now is a good time to be developing for mobile. Plus with Samsung IQ £15k could be yours. Remember entries close Friday 14 August 2009.
