It also wouldn't hurt to change the icon as well. The calendar app's icon does this.

I see these sentence-long domain names with static content from time to time. What motivates people to do this instead of a tweet or similar?

Definitely seems like a no-brainer that Apple forgot. Does this request means that the weather will get current location and update temp. when the app is opened? Or a dynamic update as you move along - I mean if this is the case, I'd love to have it while driving along and get weather updates for the route.

I like that it showed me the weather in Fahrenheit, even though I'm in Australia. Location aware...ish.

Aren't there apps that can do this?

I've wanted this forever. I made <a href="http://geoipweather.com/" rel="nofollow">http://geoipweather.com/</a> for my own use but GeoIP's (free) database is pretty bad, and damn near useless when using AT&#38;T proxy servers via 3G.

Maybe adding one of the most vital parts about the weather, humidity, would also help.<p>How on earth are you supposed to know if 25 °C or 77 °F is going to be sweaty and uncomfortable, if you don't know what the humidity is?

Rejected: location-aware weather can be obtained by looking out the window.

What I "love" about the iPhone weather app is that it tells you the weather for Tuesday (yesterday) when today is Wednesday.<p>(I live in Tokyo but I guess this would be the same for Australia as well)

There are plenty of other problems with this app. It is 2:49 AM EDT on Wednesday as I type this yet the app is showing me the forecast high/low for Tuesday on top.

The My-Cast weather app shows weather based on your location by default. Full disclosure: I work on the backend systems for the app.

I'd love to see other applications be able to pull current weather from the location aware weather app.

that or this device (and other phones) should come with a thermometer. then you could do distributed (aka, "participatory") sensing. :)<p><a href="http://urban.cens.ucla.edu/vision/" rel="nofollow">http://urban.cens.ucla.edu/vision/</a>
