Another iPhone App Idea: WeatherGlance
written by Allan on September 17, 2008
For many people, weather specifically rain, can ruin their day of business. Example: my family owns car washes and my Dad keeps track of the weather better than the local meteorologists. Here in Florida there are thousands of tourism related businesses that rely on a sunny day to have a good day of business. There is extensive weather data available for free through NOAA.gov and the default weather app on the iPhone sucks. So what about a desktop picture thats an animated gif that shows your rain radar map in motion like the mockup below?
I want to be able to see my local radar with one click of the button.

That’s an awesome idea.
Its currently not possible to use animated images as your iPhone wallpaper, but you could use a static image. But again, the only way to update the wallpaper would be to launch the application. So, if you didn’t launch the application for a few days, your radar map would be out of date…
sigh This is why all the limitation behind the SDK sucks… There’s so many badass ideas that could be implemented, but are held back by many of the restrictions.
