Nokia’s Widsets 2.0 Hits Beta

All About Symbian reports that Nokia has opened the beta for Widsets 2.0, allowing developers to download and work with the new version. Widsets are these nifty mobile widgets that make it possible to get Web content onto a mobile phone.

According to the post, new features include “better integration between Widsets and the rest of the device, including the ability to initiate a phone call or open a browser window.” It says the new version also loads faster and results in widgets that look more “polished.”

The Web site has a number of pictures demonstrating the new features.
