Video: Monkey Business Labs and Package Tracker 3 sneak peek
Monkey Business Labs, makers of the fine TV Tracker and Package Tracker widgets show us what's new in their bag of widget tricks... Like a sneak peek at Package Tracker 3. If you thought version 2 was cool, stick around for the ending because version 3 will knock your socks off. We like it, can you tell?
Also, by popular demand, we've switched these to the .mov format, but you can visit our Blip.tv channel for a mostly stutter-free .flv version if you like.
UPDATE: Apparently Blip.tv likes to play games! Despite embedding the .mov code, we're still getting the Flash version-- so you can go here for the .mov until Adobe figures out how to optimize Flash for OS X.

http://mikepiontek.com/software/mac/delivery-status.html is also a great package tracking widget; I find I like the design a lot more than Package Tracker. I guess the big difference is that PT 3 can autodetect the shipping company though.

Is "The Lives of Penguins in the Amazon" a real TV show?

Certainly two of the most useful widgets around. NIce to see them getting an upgrade. I really like how the new package tracker takes up alot less room when it's not needed too.

Like aptenergy, I switched to Mike Piontek's widget some time back. It just works better for me.

Thanks for the opportunity to be on TUAW video and to demo PT3. It'll be up for download early next week. Competition is good; I think we provide a bit more info that the other widget, but use what makes you happy!

I'm hoping we can get a more visible link when the iPhone mania dies down, but for anyone still watching the comments here, it's finally available: http://www.independentchicken.com/pt3
