Not only is Microsoft jumping on the widgets bandwagon (and calling them gadgets), Nokia’s also appropriating and renaming widgets to “Widsets”. Widgets + Handsets, or Widgets + Set?

All you need on your phone is Java MIDP 2.0, 128×128 screen and internet access. You can sign up for free and get the client sent directly to your mobile. Nokia is taking the same tact as Apple and Yahoo and letting users create and share their own widgets, so look out for some interesting ones as this gets more exposure. We don’t see anything that locks these Widgets out from non-Nokia phones, so go nuts, Sony Ericsson fans.
