The three Dashboard widgets topping the list at DashboardWidgets at the end of the day on Wednesday were:
° Touchtip, which offers tips, tricks, and hacks for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch.
° eBay Watcher, which monitors items on eBay. It will regularly updates the bidding information at a user selectable time interval.
° Leopard Countdown, which counts down the days to the release of Mac OS X 10.5 (although since Apple says it will go on sale Friday, Oct. 26, this should be pretty easy to compute).
DashboardWidgets is a Web site devoted to a complete overview of the Dashboard technology in Mac OS X 10.4 (“Tiger”) and widgets that are released daily. Dashboard is a semi-transparent layer of Tiger that zooms across your Desktop with a single button click, similar to the way Exposé works. Dashboard is home to a new kind of application called Widgets, which are mini-applications written in JavaScript and “designed for fun as well as function.”
