Widget Channel developers will be able to create TV applications using languages like Javascript, XML, HTML and Flash.
Intel and Yahoo plan to make a Widget Channel development kit available to developers, including TV and other CE device makers, advertisers and publishers. TV viewers will get access to a widget gallery where they can choose the applications they want.
Among the companies planning to develop and deploy widgets are Blockbuster, CBS Interactive, Disney-ABC Television Group, eBay, GE, MTV, Samsung Electronics, Showtime and Toshiba.
Oliver Petry, director of product management of Yahoo Connected TV, said in an interview that there is no specific timetable set for delivery of the components in the project, but that Yahoo and Intel expect to see devices hit the market in early 2009.
