April 29th, 2009

A bit of news from Engadget/mobile.

Seems that Widsets is moving into the OVI store.

Actually…Widsets is becoming OVI store!

Great news, WidSeteers! The WidSets service you know and love is about to evolve into Ovi Store: your one-stop global shop for widgets, mobile apps, games, videos, social content, and so much more.

This means that as of June 1, 2009, your WidSets account will no longer be available.

What is Ovi Store?

Ovi Store consolidates the best experiences from Nokia’s current content services, including WidSetsâ„¢, Download!, and MOSH into a single channel. Ovi Store content will range from widgets, applications and games to videos and podcasts for Nokia S40 and S60 devices.

Find the latest games, applications, videos, ringtones and widgets from leading brands like Disney, Paramount, MTV, Shazam, MySpace, Electronic Arts and many more. All of the content is specially selected for you and your mobile device!

Nokia is doing some consolidation of services.

Buzzdash.com Live polls on everything! Has run out of funding and is calling it quits.

Widgetslab received this email:

Dear widgetslab,

We’re very sad to say that, due to lack of funding, BuzzDash will be winding down in 7 days.

We truly appreciate everyone’s involvement in creating a national forum where people can gauge and share opinions on everything. Over our two and a half year history, you’ve done just that, and we’re proud to have been a part of it.

From the entire BuzzDash team, thank you, and all the best!
