Kelvin Chong, Chief Architect of Plusmo, says, "Plusmo widgets for the Apple iPhone are standards based and use Javascript and XHTML. We eagerly await a developer kit for the Apple iPhone so that we can support other Plusmo features for the iPhone such as idle screen mash-ups, and always-on support for widgets even when there is no connectivity." Apart from Apple’s iPhone, Plusmo's device agnostic widget approach supports most Java phones including Symbian devices, RIM Blackberry devices, Windows Mobile Smart phones, Palm Treos, Pocket PC-enabled PDAs as well as WAP-enabled devices.
