I dont think Blackberry widgets are going to be like Android widgets. Apps like Snaptu and Bolt 2 have widgets, and I think those are the widgets the BB dev-team is talking about.
I think Blackberry will get widgets,....eventually. You know RIM is paying attention to their consumers and their needs as well as the competition and they'll soon figure out that widgets are becoming a necessity to everyone.
Widgets are designed for touchscreens, not trackpads. I doubt we'll see widgets for anything other than Storms at most. I don't really care for them anyways.
