Samsung has finally did the thing I’ve been thinking about for some time – they’ve opened up their TouchWIZ platform to enable interested companies and individuals to bring their widgets to Samsung phones.
UI Evolution is developing a set of developer tools for Samsung to support the easy development of TouchWIZ widgets.
Based upon the Eclipse IDE, developers will have a custom interface to easily access code samples, FAQ’s, device emulation, and submission of content for sale through the Samsung Rich Connected Application storefront.
At the same time, the Korean giant announced three new widgets – Yahoo, Google and AccuWeather.com. I guess you know what each one of them does, so I won’t go into details there. I’ll only conclude that I LOVE TouchWIZ and that I’m ultra-excited that Samsung decided to go this route!!!

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
