• Welcome

  Welcome to the world of MicroWeather S60! The project is being set-up at the moment. Let me talk about the motivations behind this project: The story started with a commercial application, called MicroWeather for S60. I published this application about a year ago. I have no statistics about its popularity, but I believe, there are thousands of users using this weather application on daily manner. This is the official feature list for MicroWeather V1.1: - Powered by Weatherbug, the leading provider of weather information services - No subscription fee(!) - You can set up a list of your favourite cities from all over the world (more than 60.000 locations) and download weather forecast for today and tomorrow with a click - Weather forecast can be updated manually, or automatically. Automatic update means that forecast is downloaded for selected cities regularly without user interaction, so forecast data is always up-to-date. - Information is presented in there views. (See screenshots.) - A "screen saver" (power saver) is included in the package, so you can check weather forecast on the screen, even if the phone is in standby. (Select "Themes" in the phone's main menu to activate this feature.) (Feature not available on Nokia 5800.) - The user interface is designed to be very user-friendly. You can get used to MicroWeather in a few minutes, and you can be always sure what you are doing. - MicroWeather requires internet connection to download the data of the forecasts. You can use any connectivity options supported by your phone (GPRS, Wi-Fi, etc.). - An update generates ~20Kb network traffic per city. Now, I decided to go Open Source, for the following reasons: - I wanted to give something back to the developer community. I am usually a forum reader, not a contributor. (Of course, it is a good? reference to me too.) - I wanted to give a (good?) example to developers, about how to make commercial quality software. Of course, there is space to improve. I hope, there will be enough "resources" to reach this goal. - With the help of the community, it is possible to make the best all-in-one S60 weather client from this code base. So, if you are an S60 C++ developer, determined to create high quality Open Source software, interested in weather stuff, then don't hesitate to join us! -Gbor Fetter (Admin)
