Oh. Ok that is fine for now. In the future (when we have more widgets) widgets could be placed elsewhere
Does anyone like the UI of the NC btw?
Got a tip for us?

I was thinking something along the lines of that.
Not to mention ALL widgets don't drain battery all the time. I imagine the stock and weather widgets in NC dont take much energy.
I wonder who are you talking to?
If you are talkin to me.....
Widgets are something I'd like to have, but can live without.
Jailbreaking is for certain
Your last post was under an hour ago, if people want to read the thread and post in it they will find it. Stop begging for attention and yes my comment was directed towards you and everyone else that is whining about the widgets.
The worst thing I could possibly think of happening is that every app that thinks it has valuable information to show starts adding a widget to my screen, so (even as a developer myself) I really hope Apple do NOT give a full widget API. Instead open up a completely separate store just for Widgets just like we have for Mac OSX.
I personally find widgets to be rather annoying anyway and as someone previously pointed out the new notification center messages can actually handle important data far better than widgets. I removed the stocks widget within 2 minutes of trying iOS5 and, although it's a novelty right now, i'm sure the weather widget will be removed from my iPhone in the near future.
That's just my personal feelings on the matter!

Hi
I do not think widgets should have their own separate store.
Let the developers incorporate the "widget" part into their apps. On the App store, it will be marked or noted somewhere on the app description that it can be widget-ized.
Once you get app, you do a certain gesture/command to turn it into a widget. You can still access the full app if you click on the widget's main body, but the drawback of course is the space the widget takes up.

I do a great deal of business with air travel, so a flight tracker or flight status widget would be the only one I think I would ever use. One of our drivers has an Evo HTC that has that as a widget, and it updates right on the screen, so it is very helpful.
Yup. Mine were at the bottom. Can't remember what I did to change them to the top. /shrug

stocks mail and RSS widgets would be AMAZING. i don't understand why they won't just come out with these features and stop trying to advertise them as revolutionary when they release them. I am by no means an android fanboy but android ***** on apple as far as customizing goes.
