I'm curious if anyone here might like to offer feedback on a "beta launch" of our My-Cast weather for the iPhone.
http://iphone.my-cast.com This beta test is intended to be a very simple, friendly interface into U.S. ZIP Code based weather. We want to take advantage of the iPhone's unique interface and graphical abilities, and I'm interested in hearing what folks think! It's not perfect. It's a beginning. We're anxious to use Apple's forthcoming SDK. There are shortcomings in the animation scripts available, and the iPhone just gets a little sluggish when it's "sliding" a complex page. The forecast chart is done using canvas, so it's very lightweight. We look forward to providing a lot more detail in things like the temp line. My hope is to be able to easily answer questions like: "will it be warmer or colder?" and "is it warmer or colder than usual?" I think the usual vertical, numbers-only presentation that appears in most iPhone weather "apps" doesn't give any sense of the "relativity" of weather. As many here know, the iPhone will only accept an animated image of a certain size - too small for my tastes - so we're using a much bigger image and scripting the animation. Imperfect, but we really want to find a way to use the high res screen, scrolling, zooming... all the fun image stuff the iPhone brings. We have a very short survey available at http://www.surveyconsole.com/console/TakeSurvey?id=293698, or you can leave feedback right from the iPhone (from the ZIP Code screen). Or I have temporarily set up [EMAIL PROTECTED]; you can email me there. The beta is also noted on http://www.digitalcyclone.com/products/free-web-weather/ Thanks! :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iPhoneWebDev" group.
