SPB Weather 2.0 has been released. This update is available from SPB now and you can grab it in our store. This an update, but SPB has added some hot new features:

  • 3D Globe with Animated Forecasts
    The mobile weather forecasts are visualized similar to those on TV: the 3D globe runs animated, several-day forecasts, with global sky conditions, temperature, and precipitation for up to 10 selected cities. The animated globe cites the local time for each location, shows the nighttime overshadow, and can be zoomed in/out.
  • Modern Finger Friendly UI
    The new interface of Spb Weather 2.0 is based on the time-tested Spb Mobile Shell UI engine, making use of such prized features as gestures, adaptive skins, smooth animations and very fast response time.
  • Reliable Forecast Source
    Spb Weather 2.0 global weather service is powered by Foreca, the trusted provider of MSN.com. 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
    Current weather conditions data is retrieved from METAR (special aviation related weather observations data format), sourced from Weather.gov.

Pricing and Availability – Spb Weather is compatible with Windows Mobile Professional 5.0 or higher; all Windows Mobile screen resolutions are supported. A free, 15-day trial can be downloaded, or Spb Weather 2.0 may be purchased for 19.95 USD, or upgraded from 1.x Spb Weather versions for just 9.95 USD, at www.spbsoftwarehouse.com. According to Spb Software upgrades policy, all Spb Weather users, who have purchased the product within the last 90 days, are invited to exchange the previous version of software for the newly released one, for free. Users of Spb Traveler 2.x are also eligible to get Spb Weather 2.0 free of charge.

    This is a slick-looking app, and the global temp view is just perfect for the current midwest US cold snap. Darned though if I can figure out where to change the themes like in v1.x, but it looks great on my Advantage. The radar animation is pretty cool too, though it would be nice to allow for radar image imports as in SBSH PocketWeather.
