I really want to kinda stick to the Maemo 5/Nokia style and not just copy Apple.

@Jaffa,
Thanks for that. I figured there was support. Do you have any idea how open the api is to the python interpreter? For example, can widgets have access to accelerometer data? Is perl supported too?
I'm thinking some virtual fish swimming about my display is impressive enough to get me laid.
I may try my hand at a widget for fun! I'd love to have a generic remote-control widget that can execute pre-defined shell commands to do whatever.
It's official, Maemo rox.

I know nothing of Python but I'm pretty sure that Perl isn't supported due to it lacking GTK+ bindings (for one) in the repository, forget Hildon ones for applications even.

A wrapper could take care of that (in a limited way), though it's probably far more trouble than it's worth for the majority of tasks. Thanks for the info!

Personally, I'd rather have something similar to what my laptop has. IE, it shows the % remaining, and the estimated number of minutes/hours remaining based on current usage patterns over the past 5 minutes.

Percentage and/or timeleft or none (give the user options to configure it ) on the battery widget looks nice. When I realese new AP and APM, I'll take a closer look at the fremntle's hildondesktop-python, but writting such widget seems to be not a hard thing to do.

What can be given - somehow - is the residual battery charge.
Of course it all would be much more simple if the battery had an integrated uC like most laptop batteries do.
P.S.
It's cool to be able to post again without having to worry of giving away something considered confidential.
Given the final SDK isn't out for Fremantle, we've not seen the details on doing it for Fremantle - I assume it won't be too different.
