Hi Jackie,
With respect, I can do the same almost at http://braille.wunderground.com.
I can click on each day with my Symbian phone.
Don't get me wrong, I like some of the iPhone apps, but the weather apps are
easily do-able with Symbian. I also use an app called S60 Weather which is
free.
OK, it is not built in, but just as good.
All the best
Steve

Hi Carol
I can tell you that the weather program works on the Iphone. Ash at S and S
has one, and he let me have a shot of Voiceover on it one day. I was
fascinated with the weather program, and how you could click on each day to
obtain the forecast. Mind you, it was the first time I'd had my hands on a
touch screen phone, so my fingers were all over the place. It would be a
steep learning curve for me personally, but I'd be willing to give it a go
at some point in the not too distant future.
Kind Regards,
J

Have you tried the "What's On" prog and/or the local weather and services?
I'm interested as a sighted friend uses these and I quite like the idea of
them.
