 Widgets are Web applications based on open
standards. They run like any other application.

 They provide instant access to services such as


weather, traffic information, news, and e-mail.

 There is a significant time-to-market advantage with


rapid application and content development.

 Widgets provide an alternative way of accessing the

widgets to take advantage of platform native
capabilities.
