Widgetbox has announced its iPhone widget gallery, which “extends the world’s largest gallery of widgets to the screens of millions of iPhone users around the world.”
A range of select widgets are immediately available in the Widgetbox iPhone Gallery — including widgets for today’s top ten most interesting flickr images, the Fake Steve Jobs blog, the Yahoo! News RSS image feeds and the popular Magic 8-Ball widget for on-the-fly advice. In addition, Widgetbox expects its community of more than 32,000 developers and widget makers to create new and optimize existing widgets for the iPhone. For them, Widgetbox prepared a short tutorial on how to develop widgets for Apple’s handset and iPod Touch.
Commenting on the announcement, Widgetbox’s CEO Will Price said: “By hosting a new widget gallery customized for the iPhone, Widgetbox and the widget-making community are able to increase the reach and customization for messages targeted at specific audiences.”
To try out Widgetbox iPhone widgets, simply point Safari from your iPhone or iPod Touch to iphone.widgetbox.com and take it from there.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
