If you grab a Nokia N95 8GB with the latest firmware then you can start playing with widgets built on top of the web run time. Here is where you can get more information about WRT, a link to some sample code to get you started and a screen I just took on Symbian-Guru’s phone as he is sitting next to me in a coffee shop:

Notice that all you have to do to get this running is extract the “Horoscope” folder in this zip file, compress the folder into one zip file and change the “zip” extension to “wgz.” Bada bing, you got a widget.
