Mobilize ‘08 – Plusmo Rolls Mobile Widgets, Then Smokes ‘Em.

Update: College Football Live is currently #24 in the top 25 free apps in iPhone App Store. Congrats Plusmo.

Plusmo is easy widget creation, distribution and management that allowers publishers and readers alike to plug in their favorite content.
The plusmo interface as demoed on an Nokia N95 is reminiscent of Nokia’s own WidSets widget management application/platform but is not, unlike WidSets, restricted to only Symbian devices.
Their College Football Live application is a great showcase for the platform and the soon to be released iPhone app, which they demoed for us today, is especially slick and information rich.

Is there room for widgets in the low to mid-range handset group or will the increasing adoption of smartphones decrease their relevance?
