However, you can also use a more advanced development tool. Web developers

which mobile devices support widgets and the Web Runtime environment, see

the widget for a newer WRT, make sure that your device runs an S60 platform
version that supports that WRT.</p></div><div class="note"><p><strong class="note_title">Note: </strong>To transfer your widget to a mobile device, you need a connection between
your PC and your mobile device. USB cables and Bluetooth connection are commonly
used for this purpose, but the suitable connection type depends on the mobile
device and PC. Check the documentation of your mobile device for information
on how to make these connections. One typical method is to use the version
of <a href="http://europe.nokia.com/software" target="_blank">Nokia PC Suite</a> that
is compatible with your mobile device.</p></div><p>In addition to a mobile device, you can also view and test your widget
with the device emulator included in the S60 C++ SDK package. The SDK is available
for download from <a href="http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/resources/tools_and_sdks/index.html" target="_blank">Forum
Nokia</a>. To successfully install the SDK, you need to have Microsoft
Windows XP SP2 or later with ActivePerl 5.6.1.x running on your computer.
Check the Installation Guide provided with the SDK for the precise software
requirements.</p></li></ul><p>For an overview of the steps included in the widget development process,
