Abstract
The display of information on a mobile device that overcomes the difficulties such as the small screen size is described. The information is displayed via widgets having multiple levels of display and interaction. At a first dashboard level the widgets may be represented by live icons that have an information display area capable of displaying a first level of information relevant to said widget while remaining in iconic form. User interaction with the widget may result in multiple levels of data being aggregated and displayed by the widget in multiple levels of screens. The widgets may also display targeted advertising, for instance, in a banner.
