    Extended controls
    Pure calendar widget
    System info widget

    I believe you can set the google search widget to use your location - menu, settings, search.

    digiclock widget - very very handy, can set it up so when you tap on it you can assign as many apps in a list for so you tap to launch them plus it has the date/time obviously.

    data toggle
    power control

    I avoid widgets like the plague - but I have a g1 so in fairness.

    I've just added SMS counter. Does anyone know of a widget that tracks minutes used?

    What I did was create a contact in my contacts list under 'balance check' with *110# as the number. I'm on O2. Then create a direct call short cut on the desktop for that contact. Your minutes remaining, texts and usage etc will be on click away.

    Just to reiterate SwitchPro, easily the best widget available, well worth $0.99

    Gotta say thanks for originally posting that. In one fowl swoop it replaced about 4 separate widgets and
    gave me quick access to a ton of other features and
    the recent updates have made it a phenomenal little widget to have.:D

    This one is similar,i had it for a while before ditching it. It's free in the market,not 99c like Appbrain says.

    You should get QuickDesk and just have all of those widgets on it, easily accessible from any app :D
