Windows Phone Thoughts: More Stuff For Your Today Screen: StocksAndWeatherToday

During the past few weeks, we've posted about various Today screen add-ins that display things like weather forecasts and stock information. Well, not to be outdone, Dave at www.stocksandweathertoday.com has offered to give away twelve free copies of his StocksAndWeatherToday application to Pocket PC Thoughts readers.


StocksAndWeatherToday lets you view weather for up to 6 cities and monitor up to 60 stocks. It also works seemlessly with ActiveSync and wireless (e.g., 802.11 and GPRS) networks.

Some of the many features are:

• Automatically displays the current weather for up to 6 cities
• Display the local time for each city
• Obtains forecast for the next week
• Automatic alerts for hazardous weather
• New, nicer-looking weather icons
• View all stocks you are tracking with double-tap
• View NOAA web site directly for very detailed forecasts
• View detailed quote information with a simple tap
• Links directly to yahoo.com for charts and current information regarding stocks
• Up to 60 alerts based on how a stock is performing
• Show both stocks and weather simultaneously or one at a time

There is actually a MUCH longer list of features at the StocksAndWeatherToday Web site.

You can grab a demo version for FREE or buy the full version for $19.95 at Handango.
