intelliot · 11-03-2007, 08:56 PM

Desktop gadgets like the virtual flower pot, wireless signal meter, and media player remote can be used on iGoogle.

Neat stuff! If only there were a standard to be integrated across all platforms. I don't think that'll happen, though. So take your pick between Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and Apple - they all have their own gadgets implementations!

Porting gadgets from one platform to another could be a pretty lucrative business...
