What kind of widgets are you guys using?
All i use my tablet for now is basic web surfing and emails so i use the bookmark and email widgets but its kind of boring.
Recently added the Google music bar widget but anybody got anything really cool or interesting?

great link. Thank jman391 for posting this.
i like having the Pulse widgets on my screen.. i have 4 of them there, so i could quickly check on news and articles. great app with plenty of topics. i also linked my facebook calendar so it shows my friends' birthdays and events i have coming up. and i also put the books widget there, as i find it pretty nice to have access to a bunch of free ones. last is the weatherbug widget, which is just plain right now.. not as nice as their phone widget so far.
I'm going simplistic, just beautiful widgets weather at the moment. I like plain
The CNN news widget is cool, and takes advantage of the native HC widget scroll feature.
The widgets for Springpad are pretty cool and seem useful. Too bad I'm finding that I like Evernote more.

Is there a plain post it widget anywhere? I tried springpad but didn't want to have to register just for note taking.
Try color note for plain post it note widget and post it todo lists.
I like Astrid Tasks for those quick post-it like notes.
News360 is a very slick app, and it has a nice widget.
Plume also has a very nice widget if you're a twitter user.

Best widgets by far are the Wizz widgets. They match Honeycomb perfectly. It includes an agenda, calendar, facebook, google reader, and twitter widgets.

Those are pretty nice. Thanks for posting about that...
Is the time of updates posting correctly on your FB and Twitter widgets though??? It either shows some weird time or some ridiculous hours ago even if it's a new status/tweet. Weird.
Also... it may just be me, but is there a tad bit of lag once they are on your homescreens?

Those are great widgets! Thanks!
Would be awesome if there was something like the "stacks" but that displayed your pictures. Anyone know of something like this?
Hi! I recently gave the Live wallpaper Bubbleator another try. It is really nice and because it collects lots of data from lots of sources (calendar events, sms's, facebook, rss etc) and shows them together. Unfortunately my old hero doesn't like LWPs much, so I wondered if there is any vertical scrollable widget which can show this kind of info? Slidescreen is kind of the same, but I don't want to sacrifice all of my homescreens to this. The Meego Harmattan also has one of the homescreens which works pretty much like this. Is there any widget out there which can do this?
Thanks in advance
So I'm looking for an app, much in line with overskreen, or air terminal in it's execution, but all it needs to do is let me take notes in it, a tabbed interface would be great, and ability to save would also be great, but honestly I don't even need that. Just need a simple floating window that allows me to type some quick notes in it. Or paste some text in there so I can view it from another app.
I could probably use overskreen for this, but it just seems like overkill to have a floating browser as a text pad. I didn't find any on the Store, but I did find an app called "Floating Widgets" ( or something very similar to that name ) which basically allows you to take most widgets and make them 'stay on top' ( ie. float ). This would work great I'm thinking with a note widget for memos. The only problem is all the memo widgets I saw and tried( free ones anyways ) didn't seem to allow direct typing in the widget, they opened some kind of editor and then saved to the widget when you exited. This defeats the reason of having a floating memo widget lol.
So anyone know of either A.) An existing widget that does this, floats, etc... B.) A normal widget that allows direct typing in the widget itself instead of opening some kind of proxy app? or C.) Some other solution other than using a browser?
If I can't find anything I'm just going to use AirTerm in a Vim session to accomplish it. I love Vi but was hoping there was something already out to do this.

Yes I know I'm bumping an old thread but this is #1 in the Google search results. I am looking for exactly this. Since quite some time and many androids have passed along, wondering if anyone ever made this app?
I see that there are many calendars available for nooks, but none seem to have a nice looking UI. My wife has an ipad which comes with a very nice display, along with day, week, month views and daily tasks and reminders. The closest I can find is Pocket Informant, but while this scores high in functionality, it just doesn't have that "wow" in appearance.
Are we stuck with these sub-par looks on android?
PS. I'm running CM7 on NT.
Well, the default CyanogenMod9 (ICS) calendar is really nice. But youre on CM7, id recommend flashing the CM9 rom instead, but thats user preferance.

There are a ton of calendar and task widgets out there for Android. They won't change the guts of the calendar, but they will affect how you interact with it. I'd recommend trying out Android Pro Widgets by Dr. Appche or Agenda Widget by Everybody All The Time. Android Pro is skinnable (and has many other widgets besides calendar). Agenda Widget isn't skinnable, but you can configure pretty much every aspect of the widget to your heart's content.
You should check out business calendar free, it is pretty user friendly and allows you to sync with your Gmail calendar. The widget is also useful and lets you have all of your upcoming events on the homescreen. Plus, its free.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've seen all of these and was hoping for a nice interface along with good functionality. It seems that there is no nice, spiral like interface like working on a day planner like there is on the ipad.
Try aCalendar from the Play store. I use it on my phone and NT.
The Planner Pro app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appxy.planner looks like a good substitute but the layout rendering seems buggy on the landscape layout of the Gemini.
I've yet to try it but for a long time on Android devices I have used Tiny Calendar
I've not had an major problems with it and my father gets on with it as well on his android mobile so I shall try it when I get mine. Hopefully it will work well enough

Nice layout for calendar views. But Psion Agenda also allowed incorporation of To Do items.
For ToDo things I tend to use Google Keep now. With the benefit of it synchronising across all my devices with that account connected.
Thanks for the recommendation of Tiny Calendar. This is the best app I've seen for replicating the two-week custom view I use for Google Calendar on the web, and the widgets aren't bad either. It took me a while to find the customisation options (you have to force rotate to portrait using the Gemini App Bar) but now it's set up to my liking it's great.
I stopped using to-do lists years ago when I switched from EPOC to iOS and couldn't find a way to integrate them into calendar apps in the way Psion Agenda did. I generally use all-day calendar entries instead, so Tiny Calendar fits my use pattern perfectly. Anyone with similar needs might like to check out Calendar Widget which among other options gives a very nice semi-transparent agenda list on the home screen that makes very efficient use of screen real estate.
I have high hopes for the official Gemini Agenda clone when it finally sees the light of day. One of the joys of Psion Agenda, aside from its fantastic integration of calendar and to-do functionality, was that absolutely everything could be done without using the touchscreen. Android on the Gemini makes touch functions much more responsive than the old resistive hardware and stylus, but I'd sooner have the keyboard shortcuts back.
If Gemini Agenda can replicate that behaviour I'll be overjoyed. Those early screenshots certainly looked promising.
I can also recommend Jorte. It has a great Daily and Weekly layout including To Dos. Works well in the landscape layout.
This is probably the best Agenda substitute. It's the aCalender+ and even has an annual calendar view:
