Adding Widgets

A widget is an application that runs on the Home screen. Many, such as
Weather, aren't interactive or are only minimally so. For example, you can tap
the refresh icon on the Weather widget to force an update of the weather
info. Otherwise, such widgets simply provide continuously updated informa-
tion. Other widgets, such as the Music widget, are designed for interaction.
By tapping its buttons, you can pause or restart playback, and skip to the
next or previous song.
You can add a widget in any free space on a Home screen page, as long as
there's room for it. Widgets come in a variety of sizes, from one- or two-
section widgets to full-screen
ones. In addition to the
widgets supplied with your
phone, downloaded applica-
tions sometimes include their
own widgets.
To add a widget to a Home
screen page, follow the steps
listed in "Adding Shortcuts."
In step 2 on the Apps screen,
select the Widgets tab rather
than the Apps tab. Under each
widget name is the number
of screen sections (horizontal
× vertical) required by the
widget.
