OT but - Ambient Devices updates 5-day Forecaster, unveils 7-day version
 

Shame we're not able to get this sort of thing in UK...

All following text from http://tinyurl.com/2as7vj or
http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a...7-day-version/
as I know it'll wrap... there are links there to the true web page and
others similar...

While we'd surely balk if Ambient Devices simply added two measly
(albeit potentially important) days to its forecaster, the outfit made
sure to update the overall look / feel of its weather display for good
measure. The revamped devices will reportedly "receive updates from
weather sources throughout the day via the Ambient Infocast Network,"
which currently reaches about 90-percent of US households. The 5-Day
Forecaster will sport a four- by four-inch display while the 7-Day
Forecaster boasts a six- by six-inch screen, and both units will show
"current conditions and an extended multi-day forecast for 150
locations in the United States." Notably, the units will even feature
"a color-changing backlight to indicate the current temperature at a
glance (i.e. blue for cold, red for warm)," and those springing for
the week-long version will be blessed with information about the UV
Index, wind speed and direction, pollen alerts and air quality alerts.
Look for the new Forecasters to land this winter for $149.99 and
$199.99, respectively.
