Is Apple releasing a widget app called Dashcode?

Looks cool, but too developer oriented for most people. What would really be nice is a consumer oriented app. My blog post on dashcode gives my take on this.

My feeling is that Widgets will eventually come to the iPod Screen. They are a perfect match, and would instantly make the iPod a fully featured PDA. Pretty sneaky Steve :)

They just started now because they clearly took the Idea straight from Wcode. There are so many similarities in the look and feel of it.

It's HyperCard reborn!!! Anyway I hope so... As for why it was not part of the original Tiger release, isn't the reason obvious? They had other priorities, like fixing bugs in DashBoard :)

Very interesting, thanks. I've thought about tinkering with widgets, just might do it if there was a dedicated tool. Chris http://amateureconblog.blogspot.com/

Because.... I bet they planned to see which took off.... dashboard or automator... then then go create cool toys for them later

Maybe it's because Apple has other things planned for Dashboard, things that will require a ton more widgits. Say, if they became the primary user interface element for a remote control API. Then there would be a huge need for something like this. Wonder if there's a version for windows. What kind of templates are they offering?
