One of the best features which will always keep Android on the upper hand than the iPhone is the advantage of having widgets. Widgets are very precious as they will provide the user with different types of information and shortcuts to access different applications installed in your mobile phone and the configuration settings of your mobile. You can search for different widgets for your Android mobile in the Android Market. There are many apps and widgets which are available for free.

Following are few widgets which I have come across in recent times in The Android Market:
Extended Controls
Android includes a "power control" widget which makes it possible for the user to quickly change GPS, Bluetooth, intensity, and other settings. However, the "extended control" widget lets the user to create customized version of power control by allowing the user to add many more toggle options.
Battery Watcher
This widget provides a visual about the remaining/used battery percentage. As the Android user is not allowed to add the percentage of battery to the notification icon, this widget can prove to be very helpful.
Picture Dial
It is a smart dialing application which makes it possible for the user to configure his most important and frequently-dialed people. You can also load many widgets on the same page. The default setting is that you select a contact and then assign phone, text or e-mail to the speed dial.
