Why can’t we have widgets on our standby screen?

The weirdest things come to you late at night, and right now it doesn’t get any later than 4:06 in the morning.

Why can’t we have widgets on our standby screen? I mean check out a screenshot I posted earlier:

Look at how half of my screen isn’t being used for anything! I wish I could fit a line of text in there that told me the weather. Or even a scrolling line of text that would read me CNN headlines. Stock quotes? Anything really!

I see the standby screen as half empty, not half full. Same can be said about the screen saver (can’t really take a screenshot of that) which only has the time and date … wow big deal! There is so much potential for more information to be displayed.
