Amnesty Singles - Convert Dashboard widgets into apps
Authored by: Auricchio on Nov 08, '06 08:30:41AM

The usefulness, of course, is because it may be easier to write a widget and then "app-ify" it, so we may see more low-cost quickie apps appear.

But the process does have its amusing side for me. We've had apps forever. Then we got widgets, because they were lighter and easier than apps. Now we can convert widgets back into apps.

This is somewhat like Mel Brooks' The Producers. First it was a conventional comedy film. Then they converted it to a Broadway musical. Then they filmed the musical. In ten years, perhaps someone will convert the musical film to a conventional Broadway comedy play...

Amnesty Singles - Convert Dashboard widgets into apps

Actually, first (under System 6 and before) we had desk accessories. Then (after System 7 appeared), desk accessories started being converted into little apps. Then with Tiger, we got widgets, going back to the spirit of desk accessories. And now we can convert widgets into little apps again.
