Notice the bad news - its a one year subscription only.

Since I've already paid for this program on Pocket PC, Palm and UIQ, I'm not too convinced that is an attractive model at 35 USD per annum per program :con?

Surely the fact that you've already bought it three times shows what a killer app it is.

Now if only they'de bring out the linking desktop program for Symbian . . .

I guess it depends on the renewal price. Unfortunately I have advanced gadgetitis and I really don't fancy renewing at that price for sevarl versions, even though I no longer have a palm. The weather service on Handy Day is if I recall about $10 per annum
