The Best Android Widgets

[brilor04]

Hey Everyone,

Ok, I'm jones'n for some widgets. What do people have out there that you feel is the best? I have Facebook, Weather Channel, ESPN (kinda sucks), Pandora, Calendar and Urban Dictionary.

Best non-Sense (harhar nonsense) widgets, in my opinion, are as follows. I've gone through 75+ widgets since I got my Incredible on launch day, and these are the ones I ended up with in my setup:

ScoreMobile
FeedR
Express News
Beautiful Widgets (mostly for the home widget)
Touchdown (only if you need work e-mail)
Pure Calendar Agenda (it scrolls! well, if you use launcherpro or adw.launcher)
Pure Messenger (it scrolls too! see above)
AudioManager
Last.fm (or pandora, matter of taste)
Lamppu (if rooted)
SwitchPro

Beautiful Widgets Clock/Weather (2x4, replacing large HTC widget)
AudioManager (might replace with Settings Profile)
Bookmarks

Anyone running the Engadget widget? I used to have it loaded a few versions back and it worked fine. Recently reloaded my phone with the newer version and noticed it was sucking my battery down at a rapid rate, even with automatic refresh/update turned off. Which sucks because it was great for a quick check of recent gadget news.

I use it. It used to not work, but works like a charm now.

Appbrain is one i use often, and it also suggests great new ones to DL

My widgets from the leftmost screen to the rightmost...

Those are pretty much icons that are just links to apps you've got listed. I think he's looking more for widgets = in order to perform various functions without the need to access an actual full application. Don't get me wrong your list is still helpful, and I'm not trying to "call you out" - just giving you a friendly heads up.

this thread would have done better if it was "what is the one widget you couldn't live without" so people pick their best one and not just list. for me its probably reddit is fun
