Advantages of iPhone Widgets

IPhone Widgets are small stand-alone applications that allow instant access to a lot of useful data and information, running as a second layer on your iPhone. The iPhone technology is more and more popular and helped creating a broad range of iPhone Widgets.

Most of iPhone widgets are freeware, but not all of them. Their concept is similar to that of Mac widgets and you may also run the Mac widgets on the iPhone using few smart widgets executers installed on the iPhone, thus allowing you to enjoy thousands of mini iPhone applications. The iPhone widgets are dedicated iPhone applications or they can be extensions of 2.0 web applications and run on top of any other currently running application, as a second layer. In order to run them, a widget executer is required to read them, such as iDashboard. Such executers can run from the home screen being accessed by iPhone icon tapping or they can be assigned to one of the iPhone buttons. You can also move a widget on the iPhone screen, wherever it may suit you. New widgets can be added by tapping the button at the bottom left corner and all available widgets will appear. You can drag them from the dock to the screen of the iPhone in the same way as installing a Mac widget.

They do not require much iPhone memory space, serve a particular purpose and start right away and provide you with the data you need.
