Dashboards - one of the underrated applications. Typically, users run it, study the list of widgets, but they rarely use it. The reason - the standard widgets, which are delivered as part of the operating system, are interesting in more foreign users (eg, stock quotes, flight schedule). Fortunately, anyone can make a widget, so that the total number of long exceeded one thousand. What you should pay attention to?
Organized - personal assistant, one of the most useful widgets, which has already happened narrate. Lets you take notes, make lists of tasks, and schedule events. Events and tasks are synchronized with iCal and other applications. One of my favorite features in Organized - the opportunity to learn about the time in different parts of the world (it is useful, when you want to catch the beginning of the broadcast of the conference or to choose the time for Skype-call with a friend of USA).
"Yandex. Traffic jams" - the fastest way to learn about a traffic jam. While the widget may be of interest to residents in all four cities - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ekaterinburg and Kiev. By clicking on the map, you start the browser. A page of service "Yandex. Maps "and you can come up with a detour.
Countdown Calendar - Widget-motivator. Each of us has a scheduled event, the onset of which is very forward - wedding, birthday, conference or Apple vacation. Countdown Calendar is countdown.
TV Forecast talk about the new series favorite series. Make a list of shows followed, get a date for the next appearance in the air. It would, incidentally, be cool if "Yandex" has made a widget for your service television programs.
HostsWidget - simple editing file hosts. This, in fact all it says. Used to use quite active when a friend helped change web hosting providers and now hold a widget on the safe side.
