<div><h3>Analyzing users and their tasks</h3><p>Gather information about the user group to learn about the context the people live in, their current tasks, their problems with current solutions, their needs for new products or services, and underlying motivations that would get them to adopt and use them. Possible methods for gathering the information include interviewing users, observing them at their current tasks, asking them to document their daily activities, and creating questionnaires. For example, gather information about the use of a Web site to determine which content or service is accessed most frequently and would thus make a useful widget.</p><p>You can combine content from Web sites with a local context to deliver personalized services that are relevant to your users. For example, a weather widget can use the global positioning system (GPS) in mobile devices to access the user's location and deliver information about the local weather.</p><p>For more information on user experience techniques, see <a href="http://library.forum.nokia.com/topic/Design_and_User_Experience_Library/GUID-D4AFE068-97E8-487A-A79B-CE1422127623.html" target="_blank">Usability in a mobile application development project</a>.</p></div> |

<div><h3>Selecting supported devices</h3><p>You can install and run widgets on <a href="GUID-1A3ECAC1-3F09-4602-A1CD-82164040A664.html#GUID-1A3ECAC1-3F09-4602-A1CD-82164040A664">devices that support Web Runtime (WRT)</a>. Each unique device targets a different market niche, a combination of form, functionality, and price, which expands the total addressable market for mobile applications. The characteristics of your target devices, such as screen size and orientation, touch support, and the availability of a keyboard or home screen, affect widget design.</p><p>For more information on the target devices, see <a href="http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices" target="_blank">Device Specifications</a>.</p></div> |
