Default Elecont Weather Updated

http://www.elecont.com/

"The popular Windows Mobile weather software Elecont Weather is updated. New version is getting weather data from the proven and reliable weather source -- WSI Corp. (www.intellicast.com) Elecont Weather provides the most accurate weather data -- 10 day worldwide weather forecast, current conditions and hour-by-hour forecast. It is the most complete weather solution on the market. Weather data is displayed directly on Home/Today screen with animated icon sets. Elecont Weather has several display modes and cand display weather forecast even only in one line -- it is very useful on small screens. Elecont Weather is easy and powerful."

Having the weather displayed on your homescreen is cool and so is having a 10 forecast. But what really is great about this program is how often it's updated. For less than $10 (until September 14th) you are purchasing a weather program that the guys at Elecont take very seriously and are constantly trying to improve on. I wish more software vendors were like this. You can always check out the trial demo on their site.

Default GPSToday Rocks Them All

Ever since I downloaded the freeware GPSToday 0.991, I have dumped all other weather today screen plugins. It downloads weather for my GPS position, and will let me search for another location and get the weather there as well. This is simply brilliant. I do not know why nobody else has done this yet.

I also like the HTC Home weather plugin for having a static location for weather. I usually set that on home weather and use the GPSToday plugin when traveling.

Default Elecont Weather 1.0.768 released with extended forecast details.

Elecont Weather 1.0.768 released with extended forecast details. Added two different "Feel likes" temperatures: Wind chill (apparent temp felt on exposed skin) and Heat index (combines air temperature and relative humidity in an attempt to determine the human-perceived equivalent temperature — how hot it feels) and visibility (the greatest distance you can see).
As a result Elecont Weather has become one of the most informative weather forecasts for Pocket PC and Smartphone.
