mobile widgets

These are mini-applications with a very simple user interface through which consumers can gain access to real-time, live data such as horoscopes, news, sports results, encyclopaedias, traffic alerts, weather reports...

They’re generally free for the consumer to download and
   use (with limited data fees).

A selection of widgets is being made available
   by Orange on 80% of our signature devices via an
   icon on the Homescreen called Orange Widgets.

They will also be able to click straight through to a wider
   catalogue which will include the Netvibes widgets.

mobile applications

Applications or 'apps' are offered to consumers on a wide range of low-end, mid-end and high-end devices through the Orange App Shop client on the Homescreen (and through our mobile portal Orange World). They consist of downloadable games, e-books, calendars, maps, recipes, calculators, money converters and more.

Some are free but most are paid-for by the consumer.

There’s a regularly-updated selection (around 5000 games
    and apps) available to the consumer to select and use.

We’ve started rolling-out Orange App Shop onto devices.

Most of the apps are developed by 3rd parties under their
    own brand. We also host some Orange apps too.
