Nokia’s widget platform, WidSets, is now going to be folded into Ovi in an attempt to get everything under one roof in time for the Ovi Store next month. Mosh was recently closed down in a similar spirit, so it won’t be surprising to see other Nokia services rally together under Ovi later on in order to support the store. Presumably, WidSets widgets will be available for download through the Ovi Store, but if you have an existing WidSets account, it will be shut down as of June 1st.
