That application is crazy ugly. I love the thougt of enhancing my today screen, I've done it extensively in the past, but that application there is just insanely ugly, I won't even peak at the capabilites.

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.

Elecont has released a new version of the Elecont Weather for Windows Mobile. Users of this program appreciate the quality of a 10-day weather forecast, hourly forecast for 36 hours, barometer, current conditions, weather and UV alerts etc.

Along with usability changes new Elecont Weather expanded the list of locations for weather forecast. New locations added for Canada, France, India and others.

Driving a car on snowy and icy roads or even walking may be dangerous in the winter time.

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.
