Over at ModMyiPhone there’s a post about new software called IntelliScreen that allows you to load widgets onto your iPhone’s idle screen. While I’ve made it this far without jailbreaking my phone (and I can certainly make it another month), this brings to light a need that has until now gone suspiciously unmet in my opinion.
This is a long overdue feature that begins to show what you can do to take advantage of the spacious, high-res iPhone screen. I’m hoping that version 2.0 of the iPhone OS + the SDK will offer further customization but this little app is hint of things (hopefully) to come. I also like the simple approach to configuring what kind of content you see on that view (can a brother get a sports score update widget?)
Related gripe: The fact that there’s nothing (not even an icon!) letting me know that I have new email on this screen is unbelievable to me.
