By this widget you can setup profiles that twist nearly all of your phones settings, and then setup rules and triggers to apply the rules. you have a profile for work that  silences the phone, turns off GPS, turns on AutoSync, etc.  Another profile for home that increase the volume, turns off GPS, turns on WiFi, etc.  Another profile for in the car dock and  charging, enable GPS, open Pandora Radio, turn off WiFi, etc.   .It really makes the phone "Intelligent".

  2. Weather & Toggle Widget (aka Weather Widget Donate Clock and Weather) [$1.50 USD] -
 

  Attractive graphics attached with the Motorola Droid's high-resolution screen make this widget a permanent fixture on  main home screen.  There are several skins available  allowing you to customize the look and feel of the widget. Its another nice feature is that it allows users to interface with the favorite weather forecast site.

   3. BatteryLife [Free] -
 
It is amazing battery widget that shows percent battery life remaining.  Especially helpful if you've installed a home replacement app and are needing a battery indicator.  Allows for  basic color customization and user-defined stop light (red/yellow/green) based on battery level.  In addition, the widget uses the battery temperature sensor to display the  ambient  temperature of the phone

  4.Android Agenda Widget [Free] -

  An agenda widget that pulls from your corporate calendar and allows for significant  change to the display.  Has a 4x1 widget that displays your next 4 agenda items  clearly.  Just a quick tap pulls up the meeting information.  It is one of the BEST excecuted  widgets available on the Android market.

  5.Calendar Pad Pro [~$2.00 USD] -
 
If you are  looking for a grid calendar with a 4x3 widget, this might be your only option…  This widget offers a ton of customization, but it is somewhat  cumbersone  to use.  This  calendar works best with the Android Agenda Widget right below it. 

  6. MotoTorch LED [Free] -

  It is a nice little widget that utilizes the dual-LED flash on the Motorola Droid as a flashlight.  There are still some  technical  hurdles  relating to handling of screen brightness  to get  over before making this a completely polished widget.

  7.  News and Weather (formerly known as Genie Google News and Weather) [Free] -
   
   Allows for user-selectable topic selection for news feeds.  Weather portion is a nice addition (though lacking in graphics).  This widget is available stock on Android 2.1 and higher  devices.  The interface with The Weather Channel API is smooth and also offer some features you may not have seen in other weather widgets like temperature and rainfall .   graphs.  Another  benefit  the weather application uses your current location based on GPS.  Only some customization skins and additional widget  size are missing here .

   8. SportsTap [Free] -

  For  keeping up to date with your favorite sports teams this widget is best. Tons of teams which includes most popular college and professional sports. 

  9. Facebook for Android [Free] -

 Aside from additional facebook functionality and defining the page your phone hits when it accesses facebook, we need customization skins and additional widget sizes.  It just  looks  clunky...  NOTE:  This widget may lose out to the Motorola Social Networking widget available on the Motorola Droid 2. 

 10.  Pure Grid Calendar Widget [~$2.00 USD] -
   

    A grid (think full-month view) calendar that also shows your schedule for each day.  Blocks of color represent your schedule.  This can be use calendar as a grid calendar, and the  Calendar Pad Pro that  display a week's worth of events in more detail.
