I have installed a few including google search, battery monitor, Clocks, NY Times, Engadget and a brightness monitor widget.

However, to get to a place where you can install widgets, you probably need to move away from the default PBWidget homescreen. I have installed Launcher Pro and then this behaves just like another tablet, with ability to install widgets.

One caveat though - my battery life seems to have taken a hit. Am not sure whether its because of Launcher Pro, or whether its because of one of the many apps and widgets installed.
