Right. I made a widget. I want to share.

You can get it here: -

www.davecozens.com/bookmarks/bookmarks.wgz

It's for maintaining a list of bookmarks off your phone and viewing them on the widget. Also lists systems info (ram etc) and the RSS feed from AAS.com (i.e. here)

And lets you launch stuff. And it's free...

Downside, you need to register an account on my server first (www.davecozens.com/bookmarks ) so it knows what bookmarks to serve...

Anyone else done any widgets?

Nah, it's only a 1.0 widget, N97 needs 1.1 (gets access to location/sms/contacts/etc) so it's pretty limited in scope (hence it does only stuff).

And it's not really designed for the homescreen.

Just wanted to make something really...

It's just HTML & Javascript, with a few widget specific JS objects.

Kinda fun really, once you throw some AJAX and a backend server (in my case ColdFusion) into the mix...

Really limited in access to the phone until you get to WRT 1.1 (i.e. 5800 & N97)
