The Yahoo Widget Engine used to be the Konfabulator. This kind of app would be
very very cool
on the 770. It runs a combination of JavaScript and XML and widgets are very easy to create. There's even a nice debugging environment.
It's a MacOS Dashboard for the PC.
However, the YWE is very memory intensive. I'm running 3 widgets right now -- a clock, a weather watcher, and a todo list -- and they are together sucking up 14MB of memory. There's an instance of the YWE for each widget. I'm afraid memory would be gone in a hurry for the 770.
This would be a killer app for the 770.
