Nokia’s Mobile Web Server is an app that until now had fairly niche appeal - a mini web server that lets you access the contents and services of your phone via a wifi connection.
This may sound a bit like Nokia PC Phone, but where that app ties your phone to a Windows PC, running the server app on your phone makes it accessible from any browser.
Nokia Beta Labs have decided to make the web server even easier to use with My Mobile Site Widgets. Despite its dull name, MMSW is a great looking collection of desktop mini-apps that run as part of the Yahoo! Widgets Engine.
There are widgets to show your phone’s battery level and signal strength; an SMS widget that can read and send messages to your contact list; a drag’n'drop call widget that can accept numbers from anywhere on the desktop and a photo gallery that plucks images directly from your phone’s memory card.
The widgets require a system that can run the Yahoo! Widget Engine (Windows XP, Vista or ac OSX) while the mobile web server has been tested on the Nokia N80, N93 and N95
