More Stuff For Your Today Screen: StocksAndWeatherToday
During the past few weeks, we've posted about various Today screen add-ins that display things like weather forecasts and stock information. Well, not to be outdone, Dave at www.stocksandweathertoday.com has offered to give away twelve free copies of his StocksAndWeatherToday application to Pocket PC Thoughts readers.
StocksAndWeatherToday lets you view weather for up to 6 cities and monitor up to 60 stocks. It also works seemlessly with ActiveSync and wireless (e.g., 802.11 and GPRS) networks.
Some of the many features are:
� Automatically displays the current weather for up to 6 cities
� Display the local time for each city
� Obtains forecast for the next week
� Automatic alerts for hazardous weather
� New, nicer-looking weather icons
� View all stocks you are tracking with double-tap
� View NOAA web site directly for very detailed forecasts
� View detailed quote information with a simple tap
� Links directly to yahoo.com for charts and current information regarding stocks
� Up to 60 alerts based on how a stock is performing
� Show both stocks and weather simultaneously or one at a time
There is actually a MUCH longer list of features at the StocksAndWeatherToday Web site.
You can grab a demo version for FREE or buy the full version for $19.95 at Handango.
Now, if you'd like to try to enter our random giveaway of twelve free copies of StocksAndWeatherToday, here's what Dave has in mind:
All you have to do is post a response to this thread. In your response, though, you must describe at least one of the five animated GIFs on the StocksAndWeatherToday home page.
Of course, as with many good things in life, there are a few strings attached:
� You may enter only once.
� UPDATED: You must enter before 1:00am EST June 3, 2004.
� You may not question the selection of the winners.
� You may not whine.
� You STILL may not make fun of Brad's eVEST

- The first (leftmost) animated GIF is something that I usually see when it's winter in the northern hemisphere, namely snow
- The second is something unpredictable, expect during late summer (where I live): thunderstroms!
- The third image is something I've never seen in real life, although it does occur here in Finland -- like last summer when one was about 300 meters from my house! 8O That was something F0 scaled tornado, I think.
- The second last image, is something that we have plenty of in the winter: dark nights...
- The last image is a normal sight here, clouds whooshing by the sun, since I happen to live in the sunniest town in Finland! :lol:

I see a bright shining sun and clouds quickly passing by in order not to interrupt my sunbath 
Brad, why are we not allowed to make fun of your eVEST? Is that something an eVEST-User must live with, that people make fun of him? (I've just ordered two, I hope this was the right decision... )

Outstanding application!
This is funny, I just discovered this extraordinary little application this weekend and have been enjoying it to no end and even sent a few little suggestions :idea: to the developers. I would be honored to win this program since it's so useful and I've already advertised it to all my Pocket PC-owning friends and convinced them it's well worth purchasing. Plus I was disappointed to have missed the promotion back in April! 
My favorite of the icons on the Stocks and Weather Today site is the crescent moon with the cloud and the twinkling stars. (Do stars only twinkle in the English version of the song "Ah, vous dirai-je, Maman"?)
Best to everyone and thanks to Dave and the Stocks and Weather Today team.
Cheers :lol:

P.S. I'm a longtime PPC Thoughts reader who just had to rejoin since my password got locked up in a dead email account. Is there any way to correct this?
