I was thinking yesterday "Hmm.. I want to develop for the iPhone but I don't know javascript. I wish it was as easy as Dashcode..." and then I thought "WAIT! Widgets are purely javascript, html, and css! So if you take a widget (some don't work) and go thru it's contents, it'll work in Safari! SO if you are a widget developer, just put it thru Safari and make changes accordingly. The i button doesn't animate but it does flip! Here are some pictures:

(I found the Movie Widget online, I do NOT have leopard. You would know if I had that cool theme but I still have brushed metal
) A lot more widgets work, Pig Latin, Hexley's RPS, Hangman!, Chi Pet, almost every countdown, homerQuotes, every pre-included widget, and more! Though, some don't. Like ones with flash/java (obviously wouldn't work) Some just don't load right. Go Go Red Ball, Lost, Flip A Coin, Sudoku, and more.
Since Safari runs quartz compositions, you can technically make widgets out of them and then run them on the iPhone as screen savers!
What ever, we now have new ways to make apps for the iPhone. If this was previously known info, sorry for a pointless thread.
