Will take a look at this, but usually the nokia apps use heavily modified
custom version of most widgets and don't stick to the basic ones.

Ok ,thanks, will also have a look at this.

This usually means that it will come in some distant future and also won't work
with existing/previous devices.

So to summarize: There's no preferred way to embed html and every app in fremantle current has its own solutioin (which is also visible from the number of html rendering engines in the repositories an even worse from the number of such engines the typical n900 will have installed ...

Hmm, i'd really like to see nokia giving some guidance here so the average developer does not have to cope with various different solutions.

Thanks,
