If you adore Mac’s Dashboard widgets and you are the lucky one iPhone′s owner, then this post is for you, Erica from Tuaw has managed to integrate Mac’s widgets into Apple iPhone.

Read the instructions below how to make things done. Erica admit that not all widgets run perfectly, some doesn’t work at all. Widgets like The Weather, ESPN and Calendar work perfectly, but widgets like the Flight Tracker, Dictionary and Phone Book are among the worst. If you want to try Mac’s widgtes on your iPhone, download Widgets.app. But keep in mind Erica’s explanations:

1. Widgets uses the XLaunch icon and splash screen and the Unknown icon is the wrong size. Sorry about that.
2. You must install System/Library/WidgetResources from your Mac onto the iPhone. Same folder, same name, same contents. Most Widgets will not run properly without these support files.
3. Install your widgets into /var/root/Library/Widgets on the iPhone. Widgets.app runs plain old ordinary OS X widgets. You must copy over the entire file structure, so scp -r YourWidget.wdgt root@youriphoneip:/var/root/Library/Widgets is going to be your best bet. And yes, you need to create the Widgets folder if it does not yet exist.
