The concept of widgets has been around for quite some time. In fact, even in the days of Windows Mobile, there were already a lot of widgets present on the PDAs at that time. However, for the iPhone, it seems that only now can you put a custom widget at the iPhone home screen and this is possible only through the use of a jailbreak app called Dashboard X.

Dashboard X is a Cydia app that allows you to add widgets to your iPhone or iPad home screen. In addition to the existing notification center widgets, you can also add in Dashboard X custom widgets as well. It works rather simple as it involves drag and drop just like how you would want to edit the placement of your iPhone/iPad apps.

In other news, Apple has released an update to the Mac OS X Mountain Lion and this is in the form of OS X 10.7.4 which can be considered a major update and a must for Mountain Lion users. Some of the things that are improved include bug fixes, added RAW image compatibility for a few new cameras, improved internet sharing and a few others. In addition to that, the infamous FileVault password bug has also been fixed in this latest version of Mountain Lion. The update would be around 730MB.
