Included Widgets
In the first version of DashBoard released with Mac OS X v10.4 - v10.4.3, Apple included 14 widgets. They consisted of:
- Address Book (now known as Contacts)
- Business
- Calculator
- Calendar
- Dictionary
- Flight Tracker
- iTunes Controller
- Phone Book
- Stickies
- Stocks
- Tile Game
- Translation
- Unit Converter
- Weather
- World Clock
After the Macworld 2006 keynote, Steve Jobs also announced four new widgets (Ski Report, People Finder, Google Search, and ESPN), as well as significant updates to the Phone Book and Calendar widgets. All of these are available through the Mac OS X v10.4.4 update.
In addition, Mac OS X v10.5 "Leopard" released in late 2007, includes new widgets. One of these is Web Clips, which allows any user to turn a rectangular section of any webpage into a widget (This, however, only works with Safari). The widget updates as the website does, and all links and other interactive material in the widget's selection of the webpage works as if the website is being accessed from Safari. Another new widget is Movies, which allows users to find currently playing movies at local theaters, view trailers, and purchase tickets directly from Dashboard.
