I saw this nice lyrics widget in an early n900 video. Is this already available in the extras repository? See here for video link:

pelago: I remember checking, and I am almost certain even vertical dragging is disabled.
If we ever get a portrait mode desktop, and if switching between portrait mode desktops is done with a vertical drag rather than a horizontal drag (personally I think I would prefer a horizontal drag with a potential portrait mode desktop), maybe that's why they decided to disable vertical dragging on widgets.

I always have my phone mounted in a car kit with the display on, so I am trying to think of some useful widgets to have running while driving.
I was thinking a "Shazam" widget would be good - allow you to identify the song being played on the radio, as these days I find the stations are hopeless at back announcing the tracks.
Not sure if this is more of an app than a widget. Also, I don't know how a developer could tap into the song database ???
Perhaps a GPS speedo widget might be interesting - show your speed as calculated by the GPS - I suspect this would be more accurate than my car speedo. Maybe also show average speed, distance travelled or distance to home/gps co-ords (as the crow flies - not using maps).
What about a Widget that shows the Traffic updates info that newer GPS system use ?

More an app than a widget:
As pictures taken by the N900 are geotagged - perform a search for pictures based on a rectangle area defined by GPS positions.

Maybe this thread should be renamed "Desktop Widget proposals", in case people think a widget just means a small app or something.
