(Homebrew) Video Preview of Lock Widgets application

Last month we announced that the team WindowsphoneHacker had started a new project to bring some sort of Live Tile/Widgets on the lock screen for Windows Phone.

The developers, through its blog ,finally decided to show to what extent has come the development of this application. Lock Widgets, the name chosen for this application, let you fill in the screenblock a sort of Live Tile able to provide information to the user, such as RSS, images, weather, etc.

Developers write that found several problems in development, but that was a way to learn new features of Silverlight, background tasks, and restrictions of Windows Phone.The application still in development is previewed through a video uploaded to YouTube, of course, the app still has some bugs and you have to make an optimization work before the official release.
