Most services provide a lot of information, which we cache so that it can be read offline, which is one major feature of WidSets. Also, opening a browser from an app and returning to the app is very risky business on many phones. But we have lots of great features on the roadmap, so be patient, we're just 3 months old... Thx!

Okay, so I love the interface. Lots of cool flash around navigating, but I open a feed, see an interesting del.icio.us tag, or Digg story, read the blurb... and then what? You're stuck in the rat maze / silo / trunk. Me no like. Am I missing something, but I don’t see a way to open the linked stories in a browser! Okay, so I love the interface.

Regarding the HTTP support that Tushar mentions, it's there to support some specific operator networks. We use sockets as default because of the inbuilt push technology in WidSets, i.e. the client doesn't go and look for new stuff on a regular basis, instead the stuff is pushed to the client, when it is available. That consumes less cellular bandwidth. And the main reason for sockets is of course that we have never planned to limit WidSets just to provde RSS feeds, although we believe that's one big area to support. Regarding Flickr, the updated Flickr widget has (in addition to the tag) a placeholder for a URL. I use it for getting the latest pictures from my friends to my phone, so I go to Flickr to the "photos of my friends page", drag'n'drop the URL to the widget, synchronize it to my phone, and it's there. We're adding all kinds of widgets, hopefully some are interesting also for Daniel and Charles. Thx! Hi there!

Perhaps future version can add features that I want to use. Always nice with new versions of applications/services, but I find Widsets useless in my world.

I didn't see the point of using a socket connection to pull RSS. Works for me now, but still of limited use. Nice that they added HTTP support.

Maybe when it's got a few more widgets. I don’t really see anything useful there - the free Worldmate takes care of weather and I use mobireader for RSS feeds.
