3. User Interfaces
Mobile devices support communication and social services through three major user interfaces:
Mobile Web Browser
Mobile Applications
Mobile Widget
A mobile web browser is the web browser on a mobile device that supports
access to all web sites through a conventional browser UI.
mobile application is the basic building block of native mobile
functions; some recent ones are also mashed-up with web content.
A mobile widget delivers a small piece of web information to
mobile devices without user intervention. It is typically placed
inside a not closely related view, supports restricted user
interaction, and serves as a launch pad for the related mobile
application or web site. For example, a home view widget may
retrieve and show up-to-date news or weather information on the
device's home screen.
