More than 20,000 widgets will be available for iPhone users from now on. Most of them will be created by mobile phone users and will come for free. The user will also have the chance of customizing them and adding some of his/her own to this already large list.

Plusmo widgets will be available free of any charge. This company enables users to create personalized widgets out of useful web services, XML/RSS based sources including news feeds as well as professional media, and

user-generated content such as blogs, photos and videos and other Web 2.0 content.

Their widgets are actually mini applications which allow mobile phone users to benefit from a large number of services and information. This includes traffic reports, store locators, games, blogs, specialized searches, live sport updates and many others.

The iPhone owners already benefit from reliable internet connections, capable of providing news and data transfer at high quality. Still, widgets have proved to be quite appreciated by users owning devices capable of similar performances. It could very well turn out to be the case with newly iPhone owners.

"Plusmo's personalized homepage makes it easy for iPhone users to discover, install and personalize widgets making them instantly available at the touch of an icon on the iPhone", says Mike Elgan, a leading technology blogger. Moreover, "Plusmo makes text- and photo-based content far more readable than the iPhone Safari browsers zoom-and-pan interface. Plusmo also offers iPhone users easy access to external iPhone widgets."

Plusmo is highly satisfied with the support that their widgets have had up to this point on many Java enabled phones and WAP ones too. The company now holds a gallery of more than 20K widgets published by its users. These obtain an average number of 10 million mobile page views each month and enable users to extend their social networking experience.
