Weather Network’s “WeatherEye” now available for Google Android and Windows Mobile devices

android_shortterm_calgary_enThe Weather Network already has an iPhone and BlackBerry app, now their free “WeatherEye” Mobile appcan be used for Windows Mobile and Google Android devices. What – no love for the Palm Pre yet?

The image shows a screenshot of the app in action on an Android device not available in Canada, or in a colour unavailable here also. Perhaps the Weather Network knows something about unreleased upcoming devices. However, if you’re a user of any of those devices you can get instant up-to-date weather info from over 10,000 cities across the world. In addition to the weather info you can get related data such as a flight tracking, traffic information and Golf and Ski conditions. The app can be download here at mobile.theweathernetwork.com

Mark Thompson, Director of The Weather Network’s mobile division said “We understand how important it is for our audiences to have convenient access to accurate weather, so we’ve made a conscious effort to try and reach as many Smartphone users as possible with our applications.  That’s also why we’ve decided to offer it for free. We put a lot of time and effort into designing WeatherEye Mobile, from content and design, to functionality on the different handsets and operating systems.  As a result, WeatherEye is the most popular free weather app in Canada on both BlackBerry and iPhone, and we expect the same results with Windows Mobile and Google Android.”

  1. Its most likely they took the screen shot from the development tools emulator that they used to create the app.

  2. umm, that image is not of an Android device unavailable in Canada. I’m sitting in Calgary and have that device in front of me. Even better, the device was free! … It’s called “The Android emulator”, and comes as part of the software development kit.

    The emulator is a fully functioning device that can be used for sending mail messages and browsing the internet. Unfortunately, it does not include the Android Market, but if you are able to get an application’s .apk file, you can install it manually onto the device using adb in a DOS window: “adb install .apk”.

  3. This is pretty funny. I have been using TheWeatherNetworks source data for weather forecasts for over 2 years on my Windows Mobile device. I even created a skin that looks just like the Windows desktop version of WeatherEye. Nice to see that they are “showing some love” to the WM world because with the release of WeatherEye Mobile for iPhoney and BloatBerry I was begining to think they forgot about us.

  4. Lol “iPhoney and BloatBerry”, and you say this while using a WiMo device? What a joke. WiMo is garbage.
