MSDN publishes (and pulls) Widgets for Windows Mobile 6.5 developer article

If you’re a web developer like myself wanting to jump on the new Windows Mobile 6.5 web applications “widgets” bandwagon, then you can get a quick sneak peek at what to expect with a technical MSDN article titled “Developing Widgets for Windows Mobile 6.5” posted by accident a couple weeks ago and pulled soon after. With a little help from Google, one can now take an early look at how one develops for this platform.

From what the article describes, widgets are packaged into ZIP files with the file extension “.widget” and can be deployed from both the Windows Marketplace for Mobile and a local computer. This package which contains HTML, JS, CSS and image resources will then be installed to the device’s “Program files” directory.

One significant limitation of the widgets platform this article reveals which hasn’t been discussed before is the security model which is highly restrictive. Because the widgets run inside a chromeless Internet Explorer wrapper, it is confined inside the Internet Explorer Sandbox. The widget therefore cannot access contacts, messages, calendars, registry or the file system (besides the files in the widget package). To access other resources, a few protocols (mailto:, sms:, callto: and tele:) can be used to initiate some phone functionality. Network access too is disabled by default and each widget must request access when it is installed.

To compensate for the restrictions, Windows Mobile does make available a number of properties through a couple Javascript objects to reveal information such as display rotation, phone operator, roaming state, signal strength and battery status. Furthermore, widgets can take advantage of the soft-keys by attaching functionality on the left and right menus. A flexible localization system is also supported that enables widgets to not only be translated in the device’s language but display regional information (ex. stock market - US/Dow Jones, UK/FTSE).

Can’t wait to see what developers can do with the Windows Mobile 6.5 widgets platform.

A yummy yum plugin: Presto!

I’ve been using Presto in Fedora 11 Preview (Rawhide), and it’s absolutely awesome! If you are running Rawhide, simply run yum install yum-presto. You can often save tons of bandwidth as it will download smaller delta RPM’s and rebuild them when running updates…I’ve had some updates reduced by up to 95 megabytes thanks to yum-presto.

I was planning to do a full-fledged post on this today, as I was expecting this to be a part of Fedora 11, but apparently it won’t quite be ready by the time Fedora 11 is released, but hopefully will by by Fedora 12.

If you are running Rawhide however, be sure to check it out!

Wyzo Web Browser is a Downloader’s Dream

Windows/Mac/Linux: Built from the Firefox core, free web browser Wyzo integrates BitTorrent capabilities, download acceleration, and much more—though you can get many of Wyzo’s best features in Firefox if you’re not up for the switch.

Since we can’t help but assume that most readers’ reaction to Wyzo would be something along the lines of “You can already do that in Firefox,” I’ll run down some of the best features Wyzo offers and offer the Firefox counterpart (though in most cases the “counterpart” is actually the same extension that comes pre-bundled with Wyzo).

BitTorrent Integration: Wyzo integrates BitTorrent downloads directly in the browser—and at speeds comparable to many desktop BitTorrent apps. Want the same in Firefox? Grab the FireTorrent extension.
Download Acceleration: Wyzo supercharges your downloads (claiming speed boosts up to 10x faster) with multi-source downloads. Want the same in Firefox? Check out the FireDownload extension or the beloved DownThemAll.
Cooliris Previews: This couldn’t be more straightforward. Wyzo comes with the Cooliris extension installed by default, integrating beautiful graphics and cinematic navigation to your browser. Install it in Firefox and you’ve got the same.

We’re not trying to say that there’s no reason someone might want to use Wyzo, but if you’re already entrenched in Firefox love and don’t really feel like switching horses to get some of Wyzo’s cooler features, you can just grab them à la carte with the right extensions. Wyzo is a free download for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

The Media Browser

Wyzo is an awesome new browser that optimizes your online media experience. It will accelerate your web downloads, let you download torrents with a single click, discover media in your browser and much more.
