One thing I'd really like to see is location based weather updates for the iPhone. I would have it so that the first location listed in the weather app would be one such that it would find your current location and then tell you what the weather is where you are. There, of course, would be the ability to add other locations like it is now, but one that would change based on your current location would be handy. This is just something I thought of earlier this week when wanting to know what the temperature was outside. It would have been nice if it told me what it was in the area I was.
One extra thing to do with the weather app. I want it to update the icon like it does for the calender so that you always have an accurate representation of the weather. There could be an option to have this change with location as well.
(Editorial Note -- I think this is a great idea. You could even do it now with location based services such as AGPS and Wifi Triangulation services. I don't know if you'd want to fire up the GPS everytime you checked the weather.)
Thanks!

something like this wouldn't need gps. cell towers can send your location to your phone, at least close enough for this application to work. you know it would be kind of neat to see this feature added to the weather app. even if it isn't added to the weather app built into the iphone there's no stopping someone from developing this app. I'm not a big programmer but I doubt it would be too difficult especially with some of the tools available on the sdk

You probably wouldn't even need GPS, cell towers would work fine, and so it wouldn't check all the time just have it check any time you made a call or texted someone when it was going to be using the cell towers anyways.
This would be extremely valuable for Tornado watches/warnings in the South and midwest.
actually ya that would be pretty cool, have an alert on the iphone that plays a video of a tornado with an air raid siren, would be pretty effective
