Thinking about this one, can widgets react to keypresses, or +/- button presses? For counting people passing by (etc.) it would be nice to do this without having to look at the device, and so this would be easier if pressing a hardware button rather than tapping a particular location on the screen. If widgets can't react directly to keypresses, then this might be better as an app rather than a widget.
