Useful Android Widget

[dsrtao]

Android Agenda Widget (market, free) is an extremely configurable widget for displaying calendar and tasklist information.

But wait: you can have multiple copies of the widget running, each with different calendar(s). So now I have one which shows my calendar, and one under it which shows all the other calendars I'm subscribed to.

But wait: if you run ADW.Launcher (market, free) as your home launcher replacement, you can have scrolling widgets -- and AAW knows how to do that, so you can scroll right through your day without starting up the calendar app.

Wouldn't you want to see the calendars together??

Not when one of them is immediately important to me -- what am I doing? and the others are in a different context -- what is Eliz doing? What are the kids doing?

I guess you and I approach scheduling differently. While I have those calendars, they are relevant to each other, so I prefer being able to see them all at once.

Things I do during the workday have almost no effect on the rest of my time. When I'm telling a customer that I can meet with their tech folks next Wednesday, whatever Eliz is doing on Wednesday between 9 and 4 is pretty much irrelevant.

In the other direction, I like to know what's going on with her and the kids.
