Weather - On your Cell Phone

Weather on your cell phone.
There are two new services that I just discovered that are offering weather updates and other services on your phone.
I've been getting weather updates for a while from yahoo but these new sites suppose to be better.

AOL Buddy
Now offers news, weather, sports and more. They are in some way trying to copy Google SMS service on 411. It's all on your preference and in the end hopefully we will benefit these new search sites via our mobile phone.

Weather.com
The Weather Channel is doing something similar but the weather channel is concentrating more on severe weather. Like hurricanes, tornadoes, heaving rain fall, etc. For more information check out the link below.

The new services above vary from provider to provider. Your best bet is try to find out what services are useful to you and subscribe. The one that works with you better wins. Remember free is good.
The only thing I enjoy about it is that I don't have to pay for 411 information again.
