Please to add my own Widgets?

Dear Cupertino,

I've had this post marinating for awhile now, just haven't had a chance to write it up.

We have Stocks

We have Weather.

Why can't we add our own widgets to the iPhone interface? It's a little piece of code, we have the SDK for the iPhone, we know the criteria, why can't we create a little widget just to pull information from the internet without having to write an entire app to do it? Yes, there is a ton of apps to do what I want, but I don't want to pay for a widget I can create myself with DashCode. Can't I do that?

Thanks,

Dear Cupertino Reader
