It is great to see Mippin get involved with the Symbian 5th Edition platform by providing Buss Widgets which are very cool. I first started using Mippin thanks to my friend Phat Trance from Daily Mobile who recommended it to me to port NMT site via Mippin’s mobile page. Which is now accessible via m.nokiamobiletalk.com and it looks awesome. So now with this addition they’ve cemented their position even more so with Symbian by providing another great service. Check out all the feature below.
It is partly a testament to Nokia that their latest operating systems are sophisticated enough to run a Mippin Buzz Widget, but also because Mippin is once again fulfilling its goal to connect mobile internet users with the content they’re interested in. With mobile consumers increasingly keen on a simpler mobile user experience, there’s more and more interest by developers like us in the phone’s home & idle screen real estate. As users access more of their content and services via this area of the phone’s UI, the development of a selection of home screen capable widgets gives our Android and Nokia users a huge range of content choice, while importantly the cross platform availability of Buzz Widgets reflects the trends in mobile consumer behaviour. As consumers choose different ways to interact with their favourite web content on their mobile, Mippin is in a great place to distribute publisher’s content in a format optimized for the content, the user’s phone and now the user’s needs.
Four Buzz Widgets will be live from today on all Android phones and also on the Nokia N97. These are:
- News Buzz Widget – the very latest up-to-date news
- Gossip Buzz Widget – the latest celebrity news
- Gaming Buzz Widget – the latest gaming news
- Tech Buzz Widget – the latest technology news
Each Buzz Widget gives you a choice of different categories
- The News Buzz Widget enables users can select different categories of news, from All News, UK, USA or World News.
- The Gossip Buzz Widget brings you the top stories from the world of Entertainment, Fashion & Beauty, Gossip, TV & Film, Music & Bollywood.
- The Gaming Buzz Widget gives you Nintendo, Playstation, XBox, Gadgets, Tech News or a mix of all categories.
- With the Tech Buzz Widget, you’ll get Tech News, Mobile News, Gadgets, Gaming, Tech Video plus Android or Symbian depending on your handset.
All widgets allows users to select their choice of refresh rate, so if you can’t live without knowing what’s going on in your favourite category, you can get the latest stories automatically on your phone every 5 minutes, 24/7!
