A recent custom design project undertaken by Ocasta Labs was the development of several new data-driven mobile widgets.
Mobile widgets hold great promise for improving usability of the mobile web, by moving the presentation of content into a downloadable module and relying on only an Internet connection for data access. This will provide a richer interface, with faster and more reliable data updates.
Mobile widgets are just beginning to gain traction in the market but actual widgets available are still few in number. Ocasta Labs was commissioned to identify several widgets with innovative themes, then to develop and tailor these for use on specified handsets.
