Applet support and the closely related "application extensions", which 
uses much of the same functionality, is a feature offered by 
libmeegotouch. The API provided allows applications to for instance 
embed a container for applets, and libmeegotouch then handles all the 
dirty details of communication and input translation between the applet 
and the hosting application. This is still quite experimental.

MeeGo Touch Home has the possibility of adding applet or application 
extension support because it's using libmeegotouch. However, for the 
MeeGo 1.1 release the applet feature has been dropped from the Home 
application in order to better focus on the core use cases.
