WidSets - Yet another mobile widget solution?
I came across WidSets today and I immediately thought yet another mobile widget workspace allowing RSS feeds to be delivered to the mobile. However, I thought i’d give it a shot, and experiment with the new service.
After selecting my initial widgets I wanted on my mobile, I signed up and a link was sent to my device to download the Java Client pre-setup with my user details and widgets selected.
After allowing the client access to the internet, I was presented with all the widgets i had selected, and the option to download more from the client itself.
The navigation is intuitive, and works using a smooth horizontal scroll which can be accellerated through progressing to new content items. Its all very AJAX style. Opening up the widgets to view the content, is an impressive popup style interface, with all content pre-loaded so no waiting.
The accompanying website allows the user to create their own widgets using an online interface, and make them public to the rest of the community. Heres mine: 
The website also shows you how much data you have used on your mobile phone using the service.
I feel that this service should be watched, as it provides a very attractive user interface for devices that do not support AJAX through their browser.
