WM 6.5 Widget Development Resources

[notrock]

I'm starting this thread in hopes to stimulate 6.5 widget development. After a search or two, it seems like there isn't much being made, or at least in the open. I'm surprised because the three that are included with 6.5 are very slick looking and fast.

I found this article Getting started with widgets on Windows Mobile 6.5

So I started messing around with my limited html knowledge and was able to make a couple test widgets. Simple stuff like embedding ppcgeeks mobile page and other 'hello world' type of things. Now I can't imagine what could be done when real developers work their magic.

Themuzz over at XDA is getting his feet wet with Wm 6.5 Widget: Streaming It is in VERY early stages but its a start.

If you happen to know of others or are quietly working on something, please feel free and post away.

widgets are not widgets at all in 6.5 mobile. They are just programs called widgets.... In windows 7 or vista you can have widgets on the desktop on anyplace, this is just a program that you run.... like weather bug
