While I enjoy all of the wonderfully creative and entertaining Smartphone Apps, I really just want the bottom-line information; that is why I prefer receiving data via text message alerts. The weather Channel (weather.com) provides such a service and I strongly recommend that, if you live in the USA, you make use of it.

Apparently, Apple does not think I need this feature in the latest version of iCal. (grimace)
