    hi There,

    at this moment in time the only widgets available to you are the 3 that come with the phone (clock,Search,Photo).
    as far as i am aware Google haven't updated the SDK as of yet to include widgets which is why none are getting made. when Google release the ability to create widgets expect tons to come out all at once as pretty much everybody is going nuts for them !

    if you read the developer mailing list, one of the google engineers statet that they currently don't support custom widgets due to the permission system.
    every widget would run inside HOME and thus have HOMEs full system permissions. Thats a huge possible security hole.

    they are thinking about a solution, but don't hold your breath just yet.

    I like dxTop and aHome. Each one has features I like. aHome feels a little sluggish still...
