Opera Widgets

What are Opera Widgets?

Opera Widgets are small, handy Web applications that run locally on mobile phones and other devices. They are based on open Web standards and serve as a delivery vehicle for new Web services. Opera Widgets help users cut through the clutter of the Web to get to the info they want most. They are a shortcut with instant access to popular social networking media such as Facebook, to location-aware services such as bus schedules, and to important on-the-fly updates like stock tickers.

With Opera Widgets you can:

• Create beautiful first class Web apps with rich animated interfaces

• Go to market quickly with rapid application and content development

• Take advantage of open APIs from well-known Web 2.0 services

• Stand out from the pack by offering simple services that users want

• Expand your offerings and deliver them in one easy deployment

What’s more: Opera Widgets are a cross-platform technology. Thanks to their platform and device independent nature, Opera Widgets can be developed for a variety of screen sizes and hardware using common Web technologies and design rules. This means a single, simple Web app can span your entire triple-play solution and give users a unified experience no matter how they access your service.
