Also- can I suggest you update the #1 post with some clear instructions as to how this process works? For folks that are pretty computer savvy- they can probably fool around and get it all going.

But a lot of people are just used to downloading a .cab and then they are done. This is a little more involved than that (i.e. download the .cab. Download the .zip. Install the .cab. Unzip the Widgets. Open the Widgets files to run them etc...). I think some people are never going to get that far without some help.

Also, if you posted some explanations of what the widgets basically are along with some screenshots of the icons on the start menu you would probably get more interest.

Just trying to be helpful. Not trying to be a butthead (sorry if I sounded like one).

yep i dig what ur saying. ive been pretty busy with finals and spring practice this whole april but expect more updates and instructions soon

could you make a bank of america mobile banking widget?

link: bofa.mobi

it doesn't work well in opera so a widget would be great!

i did find a bofa widget from another thread here but it would not let me log in, using the IE on my phone worked fine.

Sorry, I don't see the point in creating a bunch of Widgets that are merely iFrame wrappers of existing pages... Why is that any better than me bookmarking it and launching it through my favorite browser?

These should not be able to be called Widgets... but, should be, "less functional way to view web pages"... .. sorry if i'm harsh.. i just expect a "local widget" to do more "locally" than what I can do by launching a web browser (that is the point isn't it??)

"Widget" is the official Microsoft term for these things, so what you have in mind is not the point at all.

I'm not saying they're all that useful. I'm just saying that "widget" is, indeed, the correct name for them.
