Qualcomm, a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless technologies, products and services, recently launched an end-to-end widget platform for mobile Internet. Plaza Mobile Internet™, as it is known, allows the creation of mobile Internet widgets written using open Web standards and the publication of these widgets onto compatible phones.
Matchbox and Qualcomm saw the need for a high-profile social networking Web application and decided on the creation of a Twitter widget for Plaza Mobile Internet as an example of the type of compelling experience Plaza Mobile Internet could deliver. This widget would support all the core features of Twitter: following other users, sending out tweets, replying and retweeting.
