Not too long ago I came across a coverflow widget for Android and thought, wow that looks brilliant! Given that the transfers tab of PicPush uses the Android Gallery widget I decided to drop it in and see how it would look.
It took about half a day to integrate and set it up just right. There were no problems at all with the widget itself, or integrating it. The only reason it took that long was I tweaked some of the settings to get it looking “just right”. Speaking of which, here it is:
Mucho kudos to “taf” for making this widget publicly available. This is why I love Android and ultimately why I think it will beat out iPhone in the end. Apple don’t even provide a CoverFlow widget for iPhone developers. How lame is that?
“Taf” Please contact me, I want to send something your way. (declan #at# 350nice.com)

TAF – Seems your real name is Neil Davies but that’s all i can find out so far. No email address out in the wild or even on your blog.
You requested that anyone who uses your widget should let you know, and I’m trying to do so. I tried to post on your site but the comment box is cut-off in firefox and I can’t get to the “post” button after entering the CAPTCHA. Argh!! Anyway email me or post here…something…

Anyway you can detail your modifications to the widget to get your L&F? I’m trying to incorporate that widget – but can’t get the images to scale right, etc. Any pointers would be fantastic!
