I have been trialling LittleSnitch this week, and found something maybe a little bit interesting, or strange never the less...

When loading up widgets on my MBP Little Snitch popped up with this from DashBoard Client trying to communicate with:

iphone-wu.apple.com - 17.254.32.16

I only have Calendar, Clock, Calculator, Weather and of course Converter in my Dashboard - nothing else!

Put it this way, OSX Dashboard was around way before iPhone - I don't know when this changed to iphone-wu.

Screenshot attached...

long time user of Little Snitch: Sorry to say mine has said that for a long time. I'm certain as I've checked the little snitch rules, and it is blocked. This rule is one I had setup last fall when I installed 10.6.

Sorry to say that it probably indicates nothing in terms of iPhones gaining widgets.
