I've never had any desire for widgets but that may be because I don't really know how I would find them to be useful.
Could others enlighten me? What is so great about having widgets? Wouldn't they be huge and take up tons of space? What's the upside that I'm missing?
The cool ones for me are the sport, calender, and twitter widgets.
So just turn your phone on and see what's on schedule, scroll one slide and I have my sports teams scores up. Then another and I can see the latest tweets.
Definitely one thing Android has over iOS, IMO. Still want an iPhone
