Time to deliver or you will entice nobody.
IDE integration (http://maemo.org/development/documen...e_integration/) is a much overseen area where a lot of interesting development is done - which hopefully will benefit people developing for Maemo and get most developers away from raw Scratchbox..

That said, there is something interesting about the widget angle on apps versus full-blown apps: think a RSS reader widget just for the New York Times vs a full blown RSS reader. Sometimes a widget approach is nicer to have when you're navigating around in your personal mobile device and need a specific information right here right now.
