Mobile Portal

Launcher – The Launcher contains applications
you can launch and folders you can access,
arranged in a grid layout. You can assign custom
icons to the applications and folders.
Toolbox – The toolbox area is a side panel
aggregator used for commonly used widgets like
favorites, generic launchers and other widgets.
Actions and actions bar – The actions bar
provides the end users options to log off, refresh
the page and add the current page to his favorites’
area. The actions bar is not extensible with more
widgets. Additional widgets can be added to the
toolbox.
