I believe the screenshot comes from an HTC device.
If so, then the widget and the application using it are part of HTC
Sense UI (I'm too lazy to go look at my Hero right now to check). They
do a lot of custom things in Sense, like scrolling and re-configurable
widgets.
And while owners of HTC phones would like to see other applications
looking like Sense, owners of other brands of phones might actually not
want the HTC look.
Speaking for myself - I now prefer plain Android 2.1 on my Motorola
Milestone to heavily customized 2.1 on HTC Hero. Looked at an HTC Desire
HD in a store yesterday, and Sense is even more complex and in-your-face
there, so I will not be buying that phone just for that reason alone.
( guess I'm more of a "vi" than an "emacs" kind of guy :) )

Thank you for the help, the proposed widget looks good.
metal mikey, I am interested not in date/time entering, but in a way
to enter numbers - something like the NumberPicker, which seems to be
internal, and for the means I need it - the wheel looks cooler.
Having this in mind and since while browsing group I see that
framework engineers are quite active, I would like to share my first
impression as complete Android developer newbie - I LOVE the platform
as a user, however as developer I see some strange things - like
really useful components staying internal for ages (like
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups&pli=1#!searchin/android-developers/numberpicker/android-developers/ZdqYIJmP3ck/SXmDORRPE1QJ
and several more topics about the NumberPicker), now this wheel thing
not even in platform, but I see it on my phone?
Keeping widgets public would result in cooler applications, boosting
the interest to the platform even further. Do not make us
copy/duplicate everything and reinvent the wheel :)
