I think spending $15 for weather information is silly. Just about every Google, Yahoo, etc have weater information for free. Besides, it's not like I can change the weather anyway.

Lol, subtle but true! That's the most straight forward/humorous post I've read! Pocket Weather by SPB, I think, is much more refined and is loaded with features, I was running it for a while, but I'm rocking the clean look on my today screen these day.

It's not a Today screen plugin (I don't have a need for vague weather info on my Today screen, anyway), but for weather I really like [freeware] Weather Watcher Mobile. It's not only a great weather app (clean, clear, detailed, and it works), but I think it is the finest designed/built PocketPC app of any kind. Serves as an example for other developers.

And it's strange, because Weather Watcher for Windows PCs is a total clunker.

Lightbulb Released new version of the Elecont Weather 1.0.1023 with Black Ice Alert
Released new version of the Elecont Weather 1.0.1023
with Black Ice Alert

Driving a car on snowy and icy roads or even walking may be dangerous in the winter time. With "Elecont Weather" you may be secured against this weather. The program displays the alert if current weather conditions are dangerous. We're updating current conditions twice on a hour, so it is very close to real time. In addition to this, "Elecont Weather" displays the alerts for the further 10 days - it may be useful if you're planning outdoor activity.

"Elecont Weather" is more than weather station for your Pocket PC or Smartphone. It produces accurate 10-day and hourly forecasts, warns you in case of high solar activity and severe weather (event of a severe thunderstorm, tornado, blizzard, hurricane, or other natural disasters). The most interesting feature is Barometer - a diagram showing the pressure changes during the past 24 hours. Now you always know the cause of headache if it is linked with changes in the air pressure. When Barometer detects pressure changes then it signals with a red color. "Elecont Weather" displays 10-day forecast with text descriptions separately for day and night time. You may find a lot of useful of weather parameters: "feels like" temperatures, chance of precipitation, humidity, visibility and much more.

"Elecont Weather" has a global coverage (more than 51,000 locations). The data is provided by "WSI Corp." (the world's leading provider of weather-driven business solutions).

Elecont Weather is compatible with Windows Mobile Today and Home screen, Sliding panel, Titanium, CHome and Windows Mobile 6.5 default screen

We're continuously adding new features to "Elecont Weather". The upgrades are free of charge.

You may find more and download "Elecont Weather" from http://www.elecont.com/weather-for-pocket-pc.aspx and receive the 30% discount during the next 7 days.
