Samsung Mobile Innovator has announced the availability of a mobile widget software developer kit (SDK) for its TouchWiz user interface. With the release of the Samsung Mobile Widget SDK1, developers will have the opportunity to create widgets for different Samsung phones across multiple platforms, including Samsung's propriety operating system.
"Samsung fully recognizes the challenges that developers face to develop and market mobile applications to consumers and businesses," said Omar Khan, senior vice president of strategy and product management, Samsung Telecommunications America. "The Samsung Mobile Innovator program is a global program focused on giving developers the tools and the support that they need to develop and market widgets for Samsung's lineup of TouchWiz-based devices and applications for different Samsung phones."
The Samsung Mobile Widget SDK is built on the open-source Eclipse platform.
Through the Samsung Mobile Innovator program, developers have real-time, 24/7 access to Samsung's Virtual Device Lab, where they can check out and remotely test their applications on all current Samsung phones. Samsung's developer tool kit also includes a variety of ever-evolving SDK tools, including the TouchWiz user interface, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Java. After the widget development process is complete, Samsung Mobile Innovator offers developers the opportunity to pitch ideas directly to Samsung.
