Dashboard Widgets on your iPod?
Apple has filed a patent for Dashboard widget authoring that seems to suggest some widgets will work on iPods. The patent titled "Widget authoring and editing environment," filed on January 5th, relates to Apple's Mac OS X Dashboard feature, and suggested that widgets will be able to run on a "handheld computer, mobile device, consumer electronic device or the like." A second interesting point relating to "Widget Installation" states that "Authentication and payment may be prerequisites for such operations in some embodiments," which could have far-reaching implications in relation to future wireless over-the-air portables, according to Macsimum News.
