The built-in widgets on the hero do not use the widget framework. They run inside integrated inside of the home screen. What you can do with the platform widget framework is more limited, since it needs to carefully juggle security, overhead, and performance issues while allowing for two completely unrelated pieces of code (the home screen and the widget) to work together.
