WeatherBugNokia’s S60 Web Run Time Widgets platform recently got two important partners – Plusmo and WeatherBug.

Plusmo said that it will provide users with instant access to the latest news, sports scores and other Web-based information. A simple UI and one-click access to content, as well as the automatic updates are naturally in the mix, too.

On the other hand, WeatherBug will bring “advanced, local weather information to millions of Nokia users worldwide.” The service/widget is free and will be supported by advertising, sold both by Nokia and WeatherBug. In addition, WeatherBug also secured a deal with the Finnish giant to get a place in the Nokia Download! store and nokia.mobi site.
