Default Unread count Google Voice & Corp E-mail

I've done a bit of searching both in the marketplace and out, and can't find icon/widgets that do unread count for Google-Voice and/or Corp (exchange) e-mail.
I've got the sms unread count widget and it will do SMS/Dialer/G-Mail (And is great BTW!). My home screen would be complete with these missing two functions.

Anyone know of such a gadget?

Thanks,

-Z

I second that..mainly i need an unread mail widget for my copr exchange.

On a related note, I JUST moved from windows mobile....but I notice that exchange on my droid x isn't as "stable" as my previous windows phones...the delay to getting mail ranges from a second or two all the way to hours, and it seems random.

+1, I "need" this as I completely disabled regular texting on my Verizon plan and exclusively use Google Voice for that functionality.

Sure. There is plenty of room. However, it looks like this boat is sinking. I've not found anything that will do what I(we) want.

It doesn't : \ (for unread count, at least).

Any one want to try this one?

Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

update: I went ahead and dropped the big $1.00 on it but I am unable to make it work as of yet. It FC's when I try to add the widget. After FC'ing a few times, it will allow me to add the widget, but it doesn't "do" anything ... likely because the background service has been FC'd. I'll send the developer a note and see if I can get it working.
FYI I'm on Froyo & ADW.

Just tried to get it working myself on my Droid 2, no luck. it never prompts me to give it root access so it just doesn't work.
