I like the tiles, now that I understand them.
The tiles allow you to get and read updated information without you having to open your phone every time.

hmm I have widgets on my Android phone. For example, I have a stock ticker, the latest google voice mail and I also have a voice recorder button on my screen so I can begin recording with just one click.
Windows 7 used to promote widgets (they called them ‘gadgets’). I still have weatherbug and stock ticker on my desktop but Microsoft closed down the website. Google also closed down desktop which bothered me because I really liked that gmail widget.
Since this is freerepublic, I want to add a request for a freerepublic widget. Or tile. Or whatever you want to call it.
