Ah, it’s amazing what a bit of ferreting around inside your phone’s firmware can uncover. Last weekend the guys over at iPhoneology discovered what seem to be pointers towards some either as-yet-unreleased, or perhaps considered but never to be released, additional iPhone widgets from Apple. Either way, we should be clear that the above images are NOT from the iPhone, but from Mac OS X dashboard widgets with similar functionality to those found by iPhoneology.
The four strings found related to a unit converter, translation tool, world clock, a phonebook (which seems redundant unless it was to link to an internet-based phone number resource), and a radio app. There’s obviously no proof that any of these will ever come to iPhone, but certainly they’d all be interesting and potentially cool additions — especially an internet radio app. Hit the jump for a screengrab of the full list.
Apple has already stated that it will add functionality to iPhone via a series of software updates, so it’s highly possible that one or more of these widgets may be on the way.

I think that would be a cool thing to have.I have a tom tom application on mine which works great.
