It uses widgets to deliver content to mobile phones.

WidSets today announced that it has reached 1 million registered users worldwide.
 
Launched in October 2006, WidSets is a handset manufacturer-independent service that brings communities, news, blogs, reviews, and weather reports straight to the mobile phone.

"WidSets has clearly set the benchmark for tools and distribution channels designed for content and media owners," said Ulla Särkikangas, Director, Consumer Internet Services, Nokia Emerging Business Unit.

It uses mini-applications called widgets to deliver the almost-real-time Internet content to mobile phones and enables the user to create their own widgets.

According to WidSets, this application works on a wide variety of mobile phone brands and is compatible on more than 300 mobile devices. User can download it at www.widsets.com or on mobile at get.widsets.com

So far, widgets has been a common feature for blog sites, but still rare for mobile phones.

Since WidSets represents a first step in mobilizing the Internet vision of Nokia, here is the logical step: Nokia will explore widgets for its next version mobile phones, I guess.
