Congrats on the million installs :) I grabbed it for my galaxy tab, but the interface is pretty broken - no rotation, doesn't expand to fill the screen, etc. Works great on the g2, but I was hoping to use it on the tab - its summer and the tab spends a lot of time in a (horizontal) car dock in the jeeep. I need something exactly like this app to make sure I'm not about to get soaked with the top off :) (Doesn't compare to hiding from tornadoes, but still..)
FYI I'd be happy to do testing with the tab if you wanted to try to resolve the ui issues..
