Here’s something Apple could adopt. Just like you see the current day on the ever-fresh Calendar icon, we could also have such an icon for the Weather app. You would simply set the default location and the application would do the rest, changing its icon with the current weather conditions. Yap, this means in most cases you wouldn’t have to start the app at all!
Users of the jailbroken iPhones can do just that with a neat app called Weather Icon. Moreover, you can also set the application to display the current temperature on the status bar or even as a badge above the icon – very cool!
The thing that could also be included in the mix is automatic detection of your current location via GPS. However, even without that – Weather Icon rocks. Search for it in jailbroken app catalogs.

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.
