Winterface…Now With Weather


 

image When I reviewed Vito Technology’s mobile shell program, Winterface, I had a few complaints.  one of the biggest ones was the lack of a weather module.  Well, I just got an email from our friends at Vito announcing they have finally fixed this problem.  Winterface version 1.14 finally includes the ability to display the weather from within the Winterface shell.  The best part, though, is the free weather application, which ties into Winterface, providing a full forecast.  You can use the weather application as a stand alone program or add the dynamic icon to Winterface for full at-a-glance weather reports.  Hit the jump for the full press release and then head over to the iWindows Mobile site to download your copy today.


VITO Technology updates Winterface – mobile shell for Windows Mobile devices. The new version of Winterface features a Weather icon among other status icons with "live" info like time, calendar, e-mail, tasks and other icons. Winterface 1.14 also addresses some minor device specific bugs and provides further improvements.

Since Winterface was released in July there has been a definite call from its users for weather support. Many users find Winterface much more attractive than the Today screen and want to see Weather information in Winterface.

For this purpose VITO Technology has developed a free stand-alone product Weather. Weather installs on device just like any other application but its icon when added to Winterface displays the actual weather information. Weather is completely finger-friendly and easy to use application.

Among other improvements there are numerous bug fixes and cyclic page scrolling, i.e. users can flip through pages with icons from the last page immediately to the first one and vice versa.

Winterface 1.14 is a free upgrade for current users.  The free Weather application can also be downloaded here.

So pretty much like SPB, Mobile Shell’s weather plug in?

Yes, only different. It is not so much copying Spb Mobile Shell as adding a feature which never should have been forgotten.

Like everything in Winterface, if starts with an icon which can be placed on your pages. The icon shows the current weather. Tap the icon and a pop up will open with the extended forecast.

I have not tested it for accuracy yet.
