Of course you can set everything as you like. In my opinion in the USC a
widget section and their you can install and remove them as you like...

Pre-installed I would like to see
 -Calender
 -Facebook/Twitter/...
 -Email
 -Weather
 -events or things to do for the next week
 -Music
 -news (based on google? news or a local service?)

Follow ups
