    the link is messed up…right now it’s “http://www.mattraskin.comiphone3gwidget.zip/” without a slash between the TLD and the directory. *LINK UPDATED*

    Just figured you might appreciate a heads-up. Cool widget by the way.

    Mtndew, The Widget is NOT an iPhone App. It is a MacOS X widget. You would download it on your Apple Laptop or Desktop. I would imagine, though, someone will have a Web App for this if you want it on your iPhone.

    @mtndew: It’s a widget for your Mac OS X Dashboard on your desktop or laptop Mac, not for your iPhone.
