WebUI

Motorola's WebUI application environment allows developers to create lightweight widgets and full-featured, context-aware mobile applications using familiar web technologies such as AJAX, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

WebUI Technology Currently being deployed on select Mobile Linux phones, the WebUI application environment is based on WebKit, the popular open source engine that powers web browsers and widgets for many mobile platforms. WebUI provides an unprecedented set of APIs for integrating information from the web with local handset services such as multimedia, location-based, phonebook, and more.

WebUI supports two categories of applications:

WebUI widgets are narrowly scoped web applications that provide a miniature view, accessed through a WebUI Widget Library. Widgets allow quick delivery of simple information, such as news, weather, sports scores, or updates from social media networks. Learn more about Mobile Widgets »
Full-featured WebUI applications run, feel, and act like a native application and deliver richer, full-screen Web 2.0 services. WebUI applications are frequently interactive and use Motorola's rich set of APIs to access handset resources and services. For example, a social networking application could allow users to share their locations using the location-based services on the handset. For a consistent user experience, an application can invoke the user interface services of the native applications installed on the handset, such as the Contact Picker service used by the Contacts application.
