How easy is it to package a widget with jQuery? I would assume that such a packaged version would be able to completely eliminate form and AJAX support (in most cases). I'd be curious if the phone version of the widgets was exactly the same...

Today has been a big day for the mac, and the iphone is about 6 months
away. It runs Safari and a mini version of OS X. And it supports
widgets!
Widgets can be written in javascript, and can run un-encumbered by the
normal ajax cross host security restriction!
So to get back on target... Has anyone written any jquery widgets?

I'm actually looking at the widget development information now, and it would be really easy to write some nice jQuery extensions to handle widgets (esp. regarding new widget-specific events).

I dissected several widgets, they're mainly mainly 2 html pages, with
a few (apple supplied) javascript files... I suspect iPhone widgets
are very similar to regular os x widgets.... same apple webkit that
supports safari.

Yep... I just investigated it and had some ideas. Contact me offlist if you want to discuss this further.

Jobs said javascript YES!

Hey, who needs Java and Flash as long as we have JS and the canvas element.
