EMCC Software Ltd (http://www.emccsoft.com) is pleased to announce that it has been collaborating closely with the OMTP on their BONDI initiative to make a consistent and secure set of services (Application Programmers Interfaces (APIs)) available to Mobile Web Widgets across a range of open mobile platforms. To this end, EMCC Software has created a location enabled Widget using the BONDI Reference Implementation (http://bondi.omtp.org). The EMCC “GigGuide” Widget uses the GPS positioning information on a mobile device to retrieve a list of upcoming music concert events local to the user’s current area from Last.FM. Users can then opt to save the event information in the Calendar application and/or send the details to their friends via SMS messaging.
