Symbian Web Runtime

Nokia's Symbian Web Runtime (WRT) is a development platform for creating widgets for Symbian mobile devices. Widgets are lightweight applications that use Web technology but are installed directly on the mobile device. Widgets provide a way to access the Internet without opening the browser. [1]

Core technologies

Symbian WRT widgets are built using core Web technologies such as JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Level of support depends on browser version installed on the device. Latest Symbian Web Runtime version 7.4 does support selected HTML5 and CSS3 features

Key Features

• Displaying content on a Home Screen
• Accessing device features and functions trough Platform Services
• Support for Flash Lite
• Accessing Web Services using AJAX

Tip: Use your existing web development skills to create Series 40 Web Apps
