Best Widgets?

[TheStone]

... apologies for the wide ranging post.

Have had my hero for a few weeks. Love it, but until this weekend I've
not had a chance to fully setup/customise.

I'm wondering if people can recommend some widgets that are better than the original HTC ones.

In particular
- Email
- Weather (is there one that includes wind?)

But maybe also
- Clock
- Calendar
- Music
- Camera (is there a widget type thing for the camera)
- Browser

.... and anything else I should have....
Prefer free stuff, but don't mind paying if it's worth it.

I'll fully go through the 'must have apps' thread at home tomorrow too.

thanks

Email

PURE MESSENGER WIDGET is probably the best out there for email i think

Pure messenger widget v1.1.3 Application for Android | Productivity


Weather

Weather forecast widget v2 - lots of widget sizes and options

Weather forecast widget v2 v2.4.5 Application for Android | News & Weather


Clock

I use Retro Clock Widget, its a gorgeous widget

Retro Clock Widget v1.2 Application for Android | Tools

Calendar

I use the stock HTC widget so not much help here.

Music

Oh man, there are loads, the best ones i've found are either the stock htc one, or tune wiki, to be honest i use my zune hd (AMAZING btw) for music so don't really use the Hero.

Tune Wiki

TuneWiki v1.3 Application for Android | Multimedia

Camera

No widget thing that i know of, but you MUST get Camera Zoom FX, the BEST camera for android.

Camera ZOOM FX v2.1.0 Application for Android | Multimedia

Browser

Either Steel or Dolphin, both are very good, its a preference thing which to go for, i use both depending on my mood!

Steel

Steel v0.1.7 Application for Android | Communication

Dolphin

Dolphin Browser (Social&Smart) v1.2.7 Application for Android | Communication

Thanks lekky. Perfect info.

No probs, its not an extensive list so I'd say take a look around yourself too, might be something that suits you more, and let us know if you do find anything

Totally off topic, but what's with the barcode blocks in your post lekky? I am assuming there is some app where you point the phones camera at the barcode and it takes you straight to the relevant app on the app store.

Would like to know more,
