WRT Widgets from Vodafone (Betavine)

[Rafe]

Vodafone has made available, via widgetvine.mobi, a number of WRT Widgets which have been developed by Vodafone's Group Research and Development department. There are some genuinely useful widgets available such as cinema listings, travel planning and news retreival. Read on for more information and a few screenshots.

That tube map widget does look particularly impressive, and most importantly it looks like the kind of thing people might actually use on a phone instead of just showing off to friends.

I tried the tube map one but I cant understand why it needs an internet connection? It pretty useless if your actually underground although i suppose you do have a mobile map.

The flight arrivals departures app is pretty good but you cant just see a list of flights you have to enter the flight code for a specific flight. So you may be better off just visiting the BAA flight arrival site directly in your mobile web browser, although you can initially find the flight number using the website and continue to view status on the flight in the app.

widgetvine.mobi isnt up right now, says its under construction. betavine doesnt have a vue widget accessible by search, where did you find this?

yes, i see the "under construction" too , how to come through?

where did you get this from, and how do you know its from their R&D department. Looks professional to me?

The widgets are cool...but an on-line tube map makes no sense unless it's giving me travel news.

Here is an off-line London tube map Java app. Ignore that is says it's for a Sony Ericsson phone, it works perfectly on Nokia N95.

Better to download from your phone as it's a Jar file.

Looks like widgetvine.mobi is back up now. I like the cinema one, especially as it only accesses the network when the information it already has is out of date, clever.
