Installation of Android Widgets on IQ 701
Can any of the Android third party widgets be installed on the IQ 701? If so, could someone provide a step-by-step summary of the procedure? I presume that a "widget" is different than an application. I have already successfully installed various third party applications on my device , but I have not been successful in installing any "widgets". Thanks in advance for any information.

However, to get to a place where you can install widgets, you probably need to move away from the default PBWidget homescreen. I have installed Launcher Pro and then this behaves just like another tablet, with ability to install widgets. One caveat though - my battery life seems to have taken a hit. Am not sure whether its because of Launcher Pro, or whether its because of one of the many apps and widgets installed. |

If it's like my Galaxy S, what you have to do is press with your finger or stylus on an empty part of the homescreen and keep it for a bit. That should toggle a screen which allows you to add things like shortcuts, widgets and LauncherPro widgets (though the latter are only available if you buy the license).
