Widgets are nothing new. They have been on the go for many years and never really taken off. I know quite a few people using KDE, including myself who have never bothered with widgets after the first few days of novelty factor. Android has a lot of very good ideas but not all are going to translate that well to a larger desktop interface. The desktop concept is far from dead and will be with us for some time yet.
