Accuweather, an online weather service, have just released an app for the Kindle. According to Amazon the app was released back at the beginning of June, but I only noticed it today (when someone posted a link on MobileRead).

No long available for purchase...

Huh? Only free as long as no one knows about it?

Yep. Also, the publication date is just made up (as are all publication dates in the Kindle store). I don't believe it was there before today, as I try to check them daily.

Maze a Thon was also free for a short while today, but under a very strange "test" type of title (now pulled).

I think maybe someone hit the wrong button and put up apps in the test phase and then took them back.

Hi.

Accuweather seems to be unavailable, but I've found possible replacement:

There is current weather condition and 2-day forecast for over 50k cities(at least they say it). The best think I like is that when you disable kindle's screensaver you can put your kindle on the shelf and use it as real weather station replacement!

Hope this helps someone.
