Also joining the rat race, Samsung released a Software Development Kit for its touchscreen-based TouchWiz phones that will let developers develop widgets for Samsung phones.

SDK also includes the ability for developers to have access to specifications, documentation, and a discussion board. The widget developer environment is based on W3C widget standards.

The company is going to host a developer summit for its TouchWiz widget developers in San Francisco that runs September 11-13 with an entry deadline of August 31. Interested developers can browse to innovator.samsungmobile.com to download the software kit or for more information on the event.
