Could Missing iPad apps reappear as home screen widgets?

Submitted by Locknest95 on Thursday, 4 February 2010View Comments

So, since Apples event last week, it has been noticed that the iPad’s big and mostly empty Home Screen is missing the iPhone’s Weather, Stocks, Clock, and Calculator apps. Where have they all gone? Are they missing in action, simply unfinished for now, or like Kevin Fox of Fury.com seems to think, could Apple be planning on turning them into Dashboard-style Widgets?

Imagine that a five-finger pinch caused the screen to dim and a bevy of widgets flew in to the screen for quick consumption and calculation, and then were dismissed by another five-finger flick? With props to Entourage, ‘Is that something you might be interested in?’

It is, because we’d not only love to see full fledged widgets on iPad but on iPhone as well. Mygreatiphone asks you this, Would you like to see this as a future update on the iPhone and iPod touch as well as on the iPad or leave it just to the iPad so that it is ‘original’

    I think it would be wise for Apple to create some UX elements to differentiate the iPad to the iPhone. After all their potential captive market is iPhone owners, and they are going to need to offer enough for people to justify owning both devices.
