Google are now providing widgets for people to use on their desktop, the same sort of thing as Apple have with their widgets. They now enable anyone to produce one of these widgets and their site enables you to download a Google Desktop SDK which includes everything to help you produce a Google Dashboard Widget. It includes the documentation of how to do it, some sample code using various APIs and also tutorials and developer tools. So really anyone with a bit of time and patience could probably produce one.
