Recently, returning from Widgets Live! in San Francisco, hefa, an Opera developer at Tokyo, posts a blog article, a personal one, of course, about the future of Opera's Widgets.

In reality, as he wrote, MS Gadgets would dominate the Desktop, we must admit that. He wrote several proposals, along with the picture of Chaals' presentation with mobile phone at conference, which is so wonderful.
