However, I've never found a widget that I'd use all the time. Most of them seem to replicate some system function (clocks are a prime example - I have one in the bottom right of my screen, why do I need one that I have to search for when I've got a load of windows open across two screens?) or (like the currency converter) do a job I need once in a blue moon.
The widget concept always struck me as a good idea, but the created widgets seem to be a prime example of form over substance... --- According to Opera, Widgets on mobile devices could be the next big break through. But I've never seen any Opera widgets yet (lack of time I guess). I'm sure Microsoft are thinking the same thing and imagine key widgets on your ipod sometime in the future... I personally find Yahoo widgets engine a little heavy for my laptop but I do run it on my desktops. The widget I use the most is the CPU viewer and a tact clock funny enough. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
