It should preferably have several (user selectable?) and configurable (labels) counters, so that the user simultaniously can count different types or subgroups.

    Both are good ideas, though the second is more what a widget can do reasonable. For the first idea, I can't imagine it'd be easy to design and program something that interfaces with a financial problem. Though there could be an easier method of just entering the form fields

    e.g. $10 spent on Gas @ BP

    Then all those entires into the widget are saved into a text file where you could later copy and paste them into whatever finance software you use.

    Do you mean something like Quick Clip, except that it would have a text entry field straight on the desktop?

    Exactly like QuickClip, but as a widget on the desktop instead of in the statusbar applet area.

    Isn't that the point of having the few on your desktop and if they're online it'll be a green dot, and if they're not online it'll be a greyed out dot? And if idle or busy or whatever, orange?

    I'm looking forward to keeping the 5 pepole with whom I talk to on my desktop and talking to them in 2 clicks, rather than going to the app, scrolling through a list of hundreds of people and then click them. (on a blackberry, take your pick of apps: IM+, Beejive, or RIMs OEM IM Apps. .... wow 3 acronyms in 4 words! hehe)

    May I add another widget? What about an UPTIME widget?
    It can have different modes:

    Uptime since last restart.
    Uptime since last battery charge.
    What about time that the screen has been on? (total since last charge)
    It can have arrows of a sort to change between each of those modes, and adding a final mode to reset each one of the counters? I Dunno :$ Just an idea!

    It should be straightforward to put Attitude's rendering code into a widget rather than a window.

    Thinking about this one, can widgets react to keypresses, or +/- button presses? For counting people passing by (etc.) it would be nice to do this without having to look at the device, and so this would be easier if pressing a hardware button rather than tapping a particular location on the screen. If widgets can't react directly to keypresses, then this might be better as an app rather than a widget.

    Uptime is already on the list.

    I would like to see separate widgets for the day's agenda and tasks, each with user definable number of entries shown, and specific calendars (all, home, work, groceries, etc).

    My daily to do list consistently hovers around 10 and it is important to me to see all, if not most of them at once on a desktop.
