WidSets allows users to build a content library which includes RSS syndication feeds, blogs and photo upload sites.

There are two parts to WidSets
1. A handset application
2. A web service you set up and configure on the Internet.

There are many existing WidSets but users can also create and share their WidSets. Since RSS is the core of the information feed for the WidSets you can grab an RSS and wrap it in a Widget.

WHO WOULD USE IT?

If you want to watch the latest BBC headlines and then check the latest bids on e-bay just navigate between the different icons of on your WidSets screen.

You can set your Flickr account details to see your pictures on your handset screen, or even watch BBC teletext on your mobile.

WALK THROUGH

You can install WidSets from a PC or direct to your mobile via http://get.widsets.com. The easiest way to configure WidSets is on your PC at http://widsets.com. From your PC, select the widgets you wish to download and press the 'Download selected WidSets to your mobile' red button.

After you enter your country code and phone number you will receive an SMS notification with a link to download the application directly to your handset. If you have a Symbian S60 mobile you may see ‘security warning’, ignore it. After you've completed installation, launch the WidSets application from the folder you downloaded it to.

Depending on your cell phone model, you will find the WidSets application in the main menu under one of the following locations: My Own, Applications, Installed, Games or Java applications.

Going online

After you launch WidSets, it will ask you whether to go online. Choose 'yes' to connect your client to WidSets servers and complete the installation.

Running the WidSets client for the first time will activate your account and you’ll be all set to start using your pre-selected WidSets.

Once you have started WidSets in your cell phone, you can search for widgets using tags or browse through categories in the Library of your System-widget. You can also pick widgets from the latest, most popular or Slick Picks list.

On the website, www.widsets.com, you can create your own widgets in the Studio-section. Widgets that you either pick from the Library or create in the Studio will be added to your WidSet Manager.



Move your widgets of choice to the WidSet Manager and transfer them to your WidSets client using the Synchronize - button. After this, you’ll be able to use your widgets the same way as the System-widget you already had time to play around with.
