One of Nokia Beta Labs shorter trials, Webview widget was only in the wild for six weeks, yet managed to accrue quite a bit of feedback for the Nokia team, not least in our comment threads. Beta Labs has now said that the Webview widget trial is officially ended and that no more feedback is needed. Intriguingly, the team talks about "plan the next steps" - so presumably, this will make it into future device firmwares, should any such get approved? Let the speculation commence!

Just to refresh your memory, the Webview widget lets you see a predefined 'window' onto live web sites on your Symbian phone's homescreen:

From the Nokia Beta Labs post:

Update March 27, 2013:

The Webview widget team would like to thank all the trial participants for the valuable feedback we got. We are happy that there were so many people trying out the Webview widget, and are delighted by the amount of comments and suggestions we got. It was excellent that we were able to catch and fix few bugs as well.

At this point we have sufficient trial results to plan the next steps and, therefore, are concluding the beta trial.

Thanks again for your time and effort!

Best regards,
The Webview widget team

In the meantime, of course, your downloaded and installed copy of the latest version of Webview widget will continue to work, since it talks directly to the appropriate web sites that you've targeted. [What do you mean, you never got round to downloading it? If only some helpful soul had archived it....]
