A range of select widgets are immediately available in the Widgetbox iPhone Gallery β including widgets for today’s top ten most interesting flickr images, the Fake Steve Jobs blog, the Yahoo! News RSS image feeds and the popular Magic 8-Ball widget for on-the-fly advice. In addition, Widgetbox expects its community of more than 32,000 developers and widget makers to create new and optimize existing widgets for the iPhone. For them, Widgetbox prepared a short tutorial on how to develop widgets for Apple’s handset and iPod Touch.
Commenting on the announcement, Widgetbox’s CEO Will Price said: “By hosting a new widget gallery customized for the iPhone, Widgetbox and the widget-making community are able to increase the reach and customization for messages targeted at specific audiences.”
To try out Widgetbox iPhone widgets, simply point Safari from your iPhone or iPod Touch to iphone.widgetbox.com and take it from there.
