Weather On Your Today Screen
Posted by Brad Adrian in "SOFTWARE" @ 01:00 AM
I've seen a few different applications for delivering weather information to my Pocket PC, but MarsWare Technologies has an especially slick version, called WeatherPanel.
All you have to do is enter your zip code into the application, and every time your device detects an Internet connection, WeatherPanel updates the information for your local area.
Specific features are:
Displays current temperature
Shows five day forecast
Automatically downloads updated data when internet connection detected
Forecasts automatically adjust to display only future dates
Weather for up to four cities can be displayed
Multi-threaded and optimized for speed and performance
You can download a free trial version or buy the full version for only $7.99 from the MarsWare site.
But WAIT!! If you'd like to get an even better deal on this application (and at that price, about the only better deal you can get would be FREE), MarsWare is giving a free license to ten Pocket PC Thoughts readers! We'll randomly select the ten winners from the list of all entries.
In order to get your name entered for this giveaway, all you have to do is post a response to this thread. In your response, include at least one reason why it would be useful for you to have up-to-date weather information on your Pocket PC.
As always, there are a few extra rules:
You may enter only once.
You must enter before 1:00am EST May 3, 2004.
You may not question the selection of the winners.
You may not whine.
You may not make fun of Brad's eVEST (just thought I'd throw that one in)
Good luck!
