Google Now widget leaks, gets the 'now' up front and center

Mountain View has silently been updating [Google Now](http://www.engadget.com/tag/googlenow/) for a while -- throwing in a [pedometer](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/01/google-now-slips-in-a-pedometer-card/), some [travel tools](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/05/google-now-updated-with-more-travel-minded-features-expanded-vo/) and even limited [desktop support](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/08/google-now-coming-to-chrome-browser/). A premature update to the feature's support page has revealed what's next: widgets. The proposed tool promises to give your Now cards a suitable abode on your device's home or lock screens, presenting a summery of your card selection at a glance. A single tap will dive directly into the full Google Now experience, offering you a better look at the corresponding deets. We aren't sure when or even how this feature will land, but it's sure to be a welcome addition when it does. After all, it's all about [getting the right information at the right time](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/11/grammy-gadget-ads-2013/).
