That is pretty much what Ross Rubin is saying in one of its “Switched On†posts. I happen to agree.in the case of Apple i think it is because just like it wrongly depended too much from Google for the first iPhone, it also did so from Yahoo and this is way more evident in Mac OS X Dashboard. The whole wait of it being kept fresh relies mostly on Yahoo making his stuff available to it. It is one of those features that almost look like Apple didn’t wanted to have.
Switched On: Apple wanes in the widget wars
To be fair is something i also see in Windows but that i something i will like to dedicate a whole post to. in the meantime Ross Rubin post makes for a good read.
