S60 on Symbian OS, the leading platform for mobile innovation, has announced new capabilities of its Web Run-Time allowing creation of personal "widgets".

The world leading software is under continuous development by Nokia and licensed by some of the industry's top mobile device manufacturers.

S60 was the first mobile software platform to support the creation of widgets and this announcement enables web developers to create even more compelling and relevant services.

Matti Vänskä, vice president of Mobile Software Sales and Marketing at Nokia, said that the new update of software has the potential to "change the economics of mobile software development."

He added: "Anyone with Web development experience can now create powerful mobile applications in days or even hours, drastically reducing the cost of development and further expanding the application offering."

With the new software, internet services can be made more powerful and relevant for users by adding personal data such as the current location of the user, through GPS.

For example, a weather widget can now access the user's current location via the built-in GPS and in just a moment display the latest weather forecasts for that location.

Chris Brozenick, VP of Product, WeatherBug said of the widget creations: "This truly enables us to leverage mobility to the maximum and enhance the overall usability and user experience of our widget."
