Dashboard widgets coming to a jailbroken iPhone near you

Adding a Dashboard-like widgets to your iPhone is a neat idea, or is it? The way I see it, iPhone’s UI is pretty much widgetized by design and adding an extra “widget-like look and feel” may make the device less intuitive to use — after all, every app is already few clicks and/or swipes away. On the other hand, I do admit I love Samsung’s widget friendly TouchWIZ user interface, but is it really needed for the iPhone?

Anyway, this is still work in progress and as soon as it hits Cydia we’ll certainly have more to report about it. In the meantime, we have a video demoing the mentioned “widgetized UI” on the iPhone. Any thoughts? Does this looks like something you would want to use? Comments form is all yours… And now the video.

    You forgot to give Steven Troughton-Smith (the developer) some credit.
    At least mention his name or something :|
