Kudos to Dave Cozens for coding up a useful set of news-focussed widgets for the Nokia N97. There's 'Nokia and Symbian news', 'UK traffic news' (couple of screenshots below), 'World news' and (ahem) 'Football news'. There's Twitter integration, automatic update checking and you can grab them here, at Nokia Users' forum.

And one more thing

Completely unrelated, that exploded Googlemail icon on the home page is honking!
The solution for ugly gmail icon.
These widgets are badly optimized and to be brutally honest, they suck.
Why did you bother dave?

Some people, like Dave, do bother.
Others just moan and criticise.
Good work Dave, lucky for the rest of us some people like you make the effort, time and effort for no reward.

Thanks unregistered, for your kind words and brave anonymity....
They're a work in progress. If you don't like em, don't use em.
