Spb Software, one of the leading Windows Mobile software developer has released a major update for Spb Weather. Aside from the modernized finger-friendly UI, Spb Weather 2.0 offers forecasts by Foreca – the trusted weather source of MSN.com, quotes current outside weather conditions, has an expanded city database, and a revolutionary 3D globe with animated weather forecasts over a real satellite image of the sky.
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.

Some ROM’s of the HTC Touch HD were shipped with In Call Recording enabled, the software was stripped from shipping devices in the west, likely for legal reasons.
