Is it possible for you to get some screenshots of it? And please let me know what doesn't work and what does. The more info the better!

And thanks for the comments everyone!

I tested it on the iPhone and iPad. Using Wifi, 3G and Edge. Edge is obviously slower but you accept that is the limitation of Edge and I certainly didn't feel I waited any longer than other sites loading on Edge.

On both devices I experience, what seems to be, un-necessary screen refreshes....click an option, the screen pops-up 'loading' then the page slides in from the right. As soon as the slide finished it seems to reload (so the screen flashes/clears very quickly and back). It might have something to do with the 'loading' message as it seems to bring the page in, including a 'loading' grey box and then hide it (I guess using jQuery) so the screen then moves up/down. I could be wrong.

On the iPad it would be nice if it detected it and increased the font size as there is much more 'real estate'.

Not sure what the plans are for the graphs -- personally I would prefer to show the Cumulus ones rather than WUnderground

Well done -- really like it.

I know this will be shown on the "Live Conditions" page because it's loaded externally--not using AJAX, mainly because it contains such a high volume of scripting. Is this happening on just that page or all?

If I had an iPad, it would be so much easier to test this. In addition, it is kinda rough since it's designed for small-screen devices, not really iPads. iPads are meant to use the main site's layout, not a mobile design IMO.

I don't actually use Cumulus graphs since I find Wunderground's are more dedicated and don't consume my system resources. I don't even generate Cumulus graphs, but it can be done. I'll test it out and see which seems better. However, I know there is a way to dynamically generate graphs using jQuery. But that requires a database, and then we go into more advanced/technical stuff.

Thanks for the comments! Keep 'em coming!

totally agree to be honest! Just thought it would be a nice to have.

Here's screen shots in Portrait and Landscape

Maybe offer a choice/setup instructions how to configure for either

Thanks for the continued feedback. I've been testing new things to see what works best. When you submit page feedback, please let me know what page. I'm aware of the flashing thing but I think it's more of a jQuery issue. Can't fix that--not like it's major anyways. The live conditions page doesn't load using ajax, so it has to load like a normal page, hence the slowness. Too much JavaScript for Ajax to prase. Any questions, let me know. Thanks!

doesn't work on a Blackberry -- I know it is not designed to but thought I would see what loaded. A blank page

If I tell you I will have to shoot you, LOL

Officially, the Blackberry 9780 on O/S 5 however at work we are testers for the new O/S 6 (I tried it on both).

I know it is not supposed to work on a BB anyway
