I just don't understand why we need widgets. Barely anyone uses them now on a Mac, but now we need them on the iPhone? Wouldn't the ability to run multiple apps at once really negate this idea once Apple perhaps allows this in the future.

This seems like a PC thing. Complicating it with more ideas than it needs.

In praise the UX is fine and it works theoretically well. So great job on that.

For users with jailbroken devices, this is not an innovation but an app used on a daily basis.

It's called SBSettings (Spring Board Settings) and can be accessed at any time, no matter what app is running, by swiping the status bar.

Here it is in action: http://gigapple.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/sbs...
