Hehe probably a request for someone to make a quick app, doesnt sound very taxing?
But as far as i'm aware the current options are
  • Let the device time out
  • Double tap the power button
  • Slide the lock slider :) -i likie that one!
  • Ask a developer very very nicely if they will make you the desktop widget for xmas :)

Just for record, blocking the device (keyboard and device) from an app is not a problem. But the current ways to do that should be sufficient for everyone I think :)

Also, is there a way to put widgets on the lock screen? Would be major useful? Is the lock screen code open source or is it closed source?

Maybe a dumb question, but why don't you just use the lock-button on the right side of the device? While the screen is activated, the lock-button switches it off and locks it. Unlocking again with that button turns it back on and brings you right to the desktop - without any slider. IMO the best slide/unlock mechanic I ever used on a device.

Now if the slide2unlock screen would just show some more information like upcomming tasks, etc.

I don't understand all the request for a screen lock app. Why are people so lazy that they can't even use a switch which is already there for specific reason :confused:

I find the 'flick-lock' slide on the end of the device pretty handy. Prior to finding that, I was having problems with locking/unlocking. Definitely for one-handed stuff.
