CHAPTER 6: Organize Your Home Screen: Icons and Widgets
146
Social Networking: This widget displays a feed of
updates from your linked social networking services
such as Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace.
Social Status: This widget is the other end of the social
networking widget. It allows you to update your linked
social networking services with status updates. You can
update individual services, such as just Facebook or just
Twitter; or you can update all of them at once with the
same message.
Sticky Note: This is the DROID version of a paper sticky
note. You can write new notes to yourself and display
them until you change the note. It’s not for long-term
storage, and it doesn’t pull the information from other
sites.
Weather: This widget displays weather information with
a nice graphic to suggest current conditions. The
information displayed in this widget comes from
AccuWeather.com.
WiFi toggle: This is a simple on/off toggle for using Wi-Fi
for your DROID. Toggle it off when you’re out of Wi-Fi
range to save battery time.
Motorola widgets have a lot in common with Android widgets, but they also give you an
extra bonus in flexibility. Motorola widgets are resizable, so they’ll take up as much or as
little space as you allow them. Figure 6–5 shows you how this works.
