iSearch speeds up the task of searching for stuff on the mighty Internet. Type a word to search for and click the service of your choice and the widget launches the phone’s browser and loads the result. The widget remembers the last thing that you searched for and displays it in the text box when you start the widget next time.

TIP! To make searching even faster you can set one of the services as default so that when you hit the ‘Enter’ key on the keyboard the widget launches the search right away. You set the default by clicking the ‘Enter’ symbol on the right end of the buttons.

This may seem a crude application to most, but for me it was a learning experience and an effort worth a good 2 hours!

It’s a simple widget that shows you the battery level and an estimated usage time remaining.

A quick thanks to mention the help received on Nokia Forums.

Please post all feedback and suggestions.

Thanks.

UPDATE: For Nokia N97 users, I’ve changed the text on the top to Nokia N97 instead of Nokia 5800. Also adjusted the calculation estimate to better gauge the Nokia N97 battery`s talk time and standby time.
