Movial has unveiled it is open source Browser D-Bus Bridge, that enables web developers and designers, operators and device manufacturers to easily create extremely capable User Interfaces (UI) that transform web widgets into seamless user driven mobile.

Browser D-Bus Bridge, Movial's innovative open source contribution to the Linux mobile community, translates HTML and Javascript commands to D-Bus commands (Desktop Bus). The highly popular D-Bus is also used by the LiMo Foundation for inter-process communication (IPC) between applications and services. Movial's Browser D-Bus Bridge can provide a browser-based UI for the LiMo stack and makes it possible for applications to initiate platform services, like media engines and instant messaging engines on mobile devices enabling Web developers and designers, operators and device manufacturers to add browser-based User Interfaces easily.

With Movial's Browser D-Bus Bridge, members of the Linux mobile community will now be able to create custom User Interfaces that are not only Web widgets, but rich and usable main applications. These applications will blur the lines between local and external services, creating innovative on-device mashups.

Running on WebKit and Mozilla engines, Movial expects to deliver the code to the Linux mobile community within 90 days.
