I agree. I’m surprised they didn’t make it user customizable and allow people to choose how many screens they want. I think these Home Replacements do that right?.

I love widgets, they’re one of my favorite new features of 1.5. I agree with the post above, even with folders, the three screen limit needs to be upped (without having to use a home screen replacement.) I stopped using Open Home because of the soft keyboard and widget support.

Pretty soon the “3 screens” limitation of the home application will become very annoying!!

Yes, I got the weather widget from JEFF’s website. You must have Android 1.5 installed for it to work.

Jess Sharkeys forecast widget is not available on the market right? Downloaded it from his website but it wouldn’t work, oh well

Wow, right as I post this they release an update for the Sticky Note widget.

It now supports speech to text entry which works great. There is also the ability to add events directly to the calendar from this widget.

Also, anyone think it’s odd people are releasing RSS widgets for other people’s blogs and then including Admob in the widget. I don’t think the blog owners would appreciate devs trying to make money off their content, but maybe they don’t mind.
