Nokia have released the 1.0 version of their Web Runtime Widget plug-on for the Aptana authoring IDE. Nokia WRT widgets are light-weight web applications designed with common technologies (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Ajax, and even Flash) which can be distributed and installed like native mobile applications.
Nokia have been looking to strengthen the tool set and workflow for web developers to take their existing skills and start creating these WRT widgets, and so have been looking at ways to engage the developer community through the tools they already use. Aptana is a commonly used authoring environment for creating Ajax-based web applications, and being based on Eclipse it was a good first target in this strategy. Well done to the Nokia team!
