Web Run-Time in detail

With Web Run-Time, S60 extends and integrates the power of the Web with the power of the smartphone platform. By doing so, S60 opens up exciting possibilities for Web developers to create innovative applications and services for mobile devices. Web technologies help and promote the rapid development of applications for mobile. Developers can now leverage the same skills, technologies, and tools used for creating Web pages to develop widgets for mobile devices.

S60 with Web Run-Time fosters innovation by welcoming ‘long-tail’ developers into the mobile realm. With the dazzling effects, transitions, and animations that are possible with Web technologies, widgets appeal to a developer’s creative side. And with Web Run-Time, Web developers can create exciting new widgets for mobile—or even migrate existing widgets from platforms supporting standards-based technologies—with minimal effort.
