It's an icon that could have an additional use. Just like the iCal icon.
So do the icons in iOS. They take of the whole screen if you use them a lot or not. That's the great thing about Android, you choose what and where to put things on the home screen(s); widgets, icons, whatever you want. Plus for some widgets you can change the size of them to fit more elements.
Oh I believe it, just ask any iPhone user.
But if/when Apple ever makes iOS more customization and allows widgets, I have a feeling plenty will all of the sudden like widgets.
That's where I feel Android trumps iOS; you have a choice to put what you want on the home screens...widgets, icons, mix it up. Can't do that in iOS.
Thanks, looks great!
Sure some people like widgets. I do not. They simply take up too much screen space. And yes, you can put widgets on the iPhone if you're jailbroken. I had them. I wasn't impressed, again, as they take up too much space.

Some of the apps I have that might have widgets that you can install on the home screens are much smaller than the actual app icon.
It always seems odd that people are so against a feature that is OPTIONAL
If you don't like widgets then don't use them, those that want them can use them
I know it's an alien concept for some people, but choice is good

We get it. You don't like widgets, yet you've got no problem wasting your time repeating yourself over and over.
Perhaps there's a hidden message you're trying to convey. Or then again perhaps "hating" works well for you.
I happen to find widgets fun, informative at a glance, and quite nice. I place mine on a secondary home screen. That way I have nothing but a beautiful background (wallpaper) on the main home screen that's displayed when I'm not in an app or on the web, or doing something else. Only Android gives me the choices I enjoy.
Yet make _no mistake_ I get a lot done with my iPhone 5, even if it is locked down. It's the Apple way. One that I've known about and used for years. I happen to enjoy both platforms, each for their various strengths

I enjoy both platforms as well. And just because I don't like something on one platform doesn't constitute "hating". What are you, 8?
