I agree that we should get some tips from Android , and yes, widgets are
one of those things . I think that Androids concept
Launcher->Widgets/Apps/Services (roughly put) is one of the healthiest
mixes out there . The standard Desktop concept is outdated , and adding
widget functionality with some standard good looking available widgets
will be a big push for Ubuntu . Like HTC Sense has some initial widgets
, I think there should be a scope in the Software center for widgets - a
few nicely made Ubuntu starters (weather,clock etc.) and any that the
users may want to develop and contribute .
