The wonderful world of Android widgets

Widgets have long been a powerful part of Google's Android mobile platform -- and with the recent Android 4.2 Jelly Bean release, they gain even more oomph.

You don't have to pick just one, either: Android 4.2 lets you have up to five lock screen panels, each with its own widget.
