Get Non-Terrestrial Weather with SpaceWx from BrainThump
"The first Space Weather forecaster/viewer for the Pocket PC! Attention Weather Geeks! If you're bored with Terrestrial weather, check out SpaceWx 1.0. View current space weather forcasts to see how it affects you - especially now that we're all ready to line up and fly off into space courtesy of SpaceShipOne! SpaceWx provides you with the latest space weather forecasts, advisories and an overview of the current space environment. As new data becomes available via satellite, it can be displayed on your screen."
Features include current magnetic field and plasma conditions, 3 day solar and geophysical activity forecast, current space environment alerts, and gauges for magnetic field, dynamic pressure and solar wind speed. So next time someone asks, "How's the weather?", I guess you can certify yourself as a true geek with the clarifying question "Terrestrial or Non-Terrestrial?" :| If you're interested, pick it up here at PocketGear for $14.95.

Well, actually, it could be useful for ham radio operators because solar flux and status of the ionoshpere affects shortwave radio reception.

Space WX is usefull....
Space WX pretty much dictates how well radio waves propagate on this planet. Amateur Radio ops use this type of data all the time. Satellite operators (both amatuer and big time....like iridium and other communciations satellites) use this data as well.
Would I pay 15 bucks? No. I can get all of this in a AvantGO page. Sure, it may not be as pretty, but it will work.
