My friend has the Droid.  They have an awesome news widget that allows to choose your categories such as...World News, US News, US Sports, etc.  It will also allow you to search & select a local city to add to the categories which provides news & sports for that city.  Can't find it on Eris 2.1

AP News and Express News both have widgets.

Express news has the news ticker I think you are looking for

The widget you are referring to is called the Genie widget.  I have the file on my computer, I'll post it here for you later or you should be able to find it via Google.

Thanks Sik for the info, did not know Genie widget existed.  I found one here, not sure if its the same as Sikyou's.  Use barcode scanner and it will download straight to your phone.  Very nice.

If you open the Barcode Scanner and go to the link mentioned above, the "Big white sqaure" thing is what you want the scanner to focus in on. Just hold the phone up in front of it like you would to scan a UPC.
Once its recognizes it you will get a message to download the .apk

It's actually a really  Cool and easy process.
