It looks like the app requires the Macromedia Flash player to be installed. It worked when I had the Flash player installed. When I removed the Flash player from my device, I just saw a white screen.

I DID have the white screen with this and then I re-installed flash player (was already installed) and it seemed to fix it.

Does ANYONE have a Weather app for pocket pc that catches warnings? Would be nice when I am at home if I had it pluggin in and on if it could catch those warnings. Also nice for thos that use the MDA or the Samsung i700.

For a Today plugin that shows current conditions, forecasts and alerts, try Stocks & Weather Today www.rdfo.com/st You can just purchase weather functionality if you like. I'm not sure how well it works on phones though...

Anyone else having a problem with the close button. It only minimizes if I press a hardware button or closes when I use the Task mgr.

Stocks and Weather Today's home page is at www.StocksAndWeatherToday.com

As long as you have a connection to the Internet it should be able to get the weather information. We have just released version 5.01 which has the following weather capabilities:

Display current weather for up to 6 cities
Display forecast for those cities
Display hazardous weather alerts for those cities (US only)
Display current time for those cities
An option to change the theme which matches the weather outside.

Here is a sample screen shot.
