Hehe probably a request for someone to make a quick app, doesnt sound very taxing?
But as far as i'm aware the current options are
- Let the device time out
- Double tap the power button
- Slide the lock slider -i likie that one!
- Ask a developer very very nicely if they will make you the desktop widget for xmas

Just for record, blocking the device (keyboard and device) from an app is not a problem. But the current ways to do that should be sufficient for everyone I think

Also, is there a way to put widgets on the lock screen? Would be major useful? Is the lock screen code open source or is it closed source?

a ha! thanks
Now if the slide2unlock screen would just show some more information like upcomming tasks, etc.

I don't understand all the request for a screen lock app. Why are people so lazy that they can't even use a switch which is already there for specific reason

I find the 'flick-lock' slide on the end of the device pretty handy. Prior to finding that, I was having problems with locking/unlocking. Definitely for one-handed stuff.
