Spb Software has updated its popular Spb Weather app for Windows Mobile. Aside from boasting the improved, easier to use, finger-friendly user interface, version 2.0 adds new features to the mix, including:
- 3D globe with animated forecasts – mobile weather forecasts are visualized similar to those on TV, with an option to zoom in/out.
- Reliable forecast powered by Foreca, the trusted provider of MSN.com. Additionally, the program also supports forecasts from US National Weather Service and Gismeteo, plus users still have the flexibility to create and use custom weather source templates.
- Current weather conditions data is retrieved from METAR, special aviation related weather observations data format, sourced from Weather.gov.
Spb Weather 2.0 is compatible with Windows Mobile Professional 5.0 or higher; all Windows Mobile screen resolutions are supported. The application costs $19.95 ($9.95 upgrade from previous versions), although a free 15-day trial version is also available. Finally, it’s important to add that users of Spb Traveler 2.x are also eligible to get Spb Weather 2.0 free of charge.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
