Any idea what we can expect? it was said they will likely add some closer to the release

I'd love to see a widget that gives you quick access to some settings, such as toggle wi-fi on/off etc. If it does pretty much exactly what SBSettings (Cydia) does, then that would be perfect.

Something like Android has wifi/3G/Brightness/Silent ect....

You've seen them, I doubt we get any more widgets than stock and weather for iOS5 launch.

Brightness would be nice, I like how it's quick to access on iPad but have to dig into settings on iPhone =/

VPN connection would be nice.

In fact this is pretty much what I'd like to see, http://www.macstories.net/news/first-third-party-ios-5-widget-released-in-cydia/.

I agree, I don't think we'll get much for launch, but can't 3rd parties write widgets. If so, they're probably doing so now and will be available shortly after iOS5 is released.

All Apple has to do is copy Androids widgets & they'll do just fine.

Apparently the updated Twitter app will have an optional widget.

don't like widgets & I don't think they'll come to ios any time soon

but they already have. Apple even calls them widgets (Weather and Stock Widgets)

Sbsettings would be a nice addition. It's quite annoying when you have been using it for a while then you go back to stock!

SBS and 'removebackground' is why I keep my iPhone jail broke.
