What I like about this app is, as with all SPB products, INTEGRATION

If you install SPB Weather to replace the Shell Weather tab, then you can choose local (i.e. BBC weather) and this is displayed on the NOW screen

Did you guys also notice that the sunshine is displayed on NOW screen even if it is night-time?

The purpose of the app was really for beginner users who were perhaps moving from smartphone devices or were totally new to windows mobile.

What I do love, though, is for power users the ability to integrate other apps (not just SPB, but other today plugins as well).

A lot of the testers complained about the simplicity and lack of configurability of this products - but in my eyes that is good (prevents novices getting tied up with too many options!). A good example is my first encounter with PhoneAlarm - too many options - too much time to set up - so I ditched it.

I think this is a great app - and if the promised feature requests come through (in the second release) then we will have one mighty-fine app. Sadly, I'm reaching critical storage capacity with all these apps from SPB - I need the Athena
