<p>To be blunt if you want a killer widget idea, allow third parties to develop javascript addins. Development of useful bridges is blocked becuase its "locked down" to Nokia and what ever management team and focus group thought would be "good use case" API's. When I wanted to develop a plugin to provide functionality I cannot, hence I abandoned any kind of attempt to build any kind of solution such as Google Gears for S60.</p>
<p>Come on guys and open up the API so developers can actually use it - the scope to build UI in html and business logic in C++ is too complelling to ignore, though I am sure Nokia will just lock out third parties from doing this as usual.</p>
