jQuery and Nokia

Amid the noise raised by the news that Microsoft will include jQuery support in its studio, the information that another giant Nokia is also introducing jQuery support somehow quietly passed.

It is reported that jQuery will be used as part of the WebKit-based Web Run-Time platform and will become part of all Nokia phones that include Web Run-Time. Also jQuery will become part of the widget platform and it will be possible to create widgets for Nokia phones using jQuery.

There is no information on whether changes will be made to included versions of libraries. It seems that both Nokia and Microsoft will use jQuery in their products according to the “as is” principle, that is, without changes.
