Wow, people have been busy with the Tiger pre-release. This site archives all kinds of third-parties' Dashboard widgets, created using Apple's SDK. See, this is an area where it is important and sensible for Apple to release tools for third parties to build on. The possibilities for Dashboard are nigh-limitless, but Apple isn't going to be able to fulfill all those needs.
Nor should they, if their preliminary iTunes widget is any indication of the UI design sense of whoever is in charge of developing Apple's final Dashboard tools. Whoever built that piece of fugly demoware needs some good old-fashioned re-Neducation down at Zero Infiinite Loop. Disappointingly, there doesn't seem to be a replacement for it yet on the Dashboarder site. But at least there are quite a few other cool ones.
