Yes, I have considered that and may well end up taking that route. It's messy though, whether it's a separate app in the Market or an APK downloaded from my server (or even bundled as an asset in the main app).
Also the separation means you have to handle the scenario where the widget app is an earlier version than the main app and vice versa. Much more difficult to test unless the internal APIs (e.g. ContentProviders) are particularly mature.
