NWSClient for the Blackberry Storm

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Blackberry StormI’ve made a version of NWSClient for the Blackberry Storm. It is identical to version 1.0 except it has been built for OS v4.7 and the over-the-air install will not make the Storm run the application in “compatibility mode,” as it would the 1.0 version (this can be disabled in the preferences of the phone if you’ve already installed the previous 1.0 version).

Over-the-air install is here.

Announcing NWSClient

NWSClient
A Free Blackberry weather app.

Back in August I upgraded my phone to a Blackberry 8330 “Curve” from Verizon. I was disappointed with many of the free weather applications on offer so I decided to write my own that uses data provided by the National Weather Service and Google to display weather information for the United States and most world cities.

The result of this work is NWSClient, a Java app that displays current conditions, forecast weather, and alerts and warnings. I am distributing this application for free under the terms of the Gnu General Public License.

Please download NWSClient and try it out. Documentation and features list are here.
