I also thought about that one . As I see it Cannonical won't make them 
native ,nor the home screen customizable enough ,so there will be an app 
that the users will install to use as a desktop , and it will support 
widgets . I just hope , that there will be enough customizability , so 
that we won't need to make entire forks of the Phone OS , to change the 
default home screen app for example .

Actually I think there's no anwser on the topic because it's too early , 
and some of the development/design decisions haven't been made yet . At 
least those are my optimistic thoughts . So if there's enough peer 
interest in getting widgets it may happen natively too.

I think we should just wait to see the image released , the topic as I 
said ,comes kind of early .
