It’s none of those suggested things at all.
It clearly states on the betalabs sit; ‘swiping to the homescreen loads & updates the view’

I have however just found out that any sites that require login will not work.

That’s exactly the thought i had seeing as i study Meteorology.
The widget doesn’t stay logged in though. Anything that involves logging in doesn’t seem to work. I log in, set the page up and move the homescreen and i get the login screen appear.

Symbian users expect to make these kind of updates next to beta level.

By all accounts, even people within Nokia and Accenture say Symbian has been abandoned and it’s all WP now.

Can’t help but think that this has been ready for some time but for reasons unknown has only just been released. This could have been a ‘game changer’ if it was available for Symbian^3, Maemo or S60v5 back in their day.

Here is something genuinely very useful that you’d never find on Windows Phone, iOS, Blackberry or even Meego.

Expect Google to copy it on Android in the next few months to much media praise, while it goes forgotten on Symbian…

Sounds like it’s working as its supposed to. It’s a low bandwidth, low power, low memory widget. It’s not supposed to be a full browser. It’s best for sites that someone would visit a few times a week, but usually aren’t updated as frequently as something like a Twitter stream.
