Nope, but I'd like to know if a lenticular cloud is forming over the 
horizon line where I have to drive later tonight on my way home. As soon 
as satellite coverage is good enough to get reception when I'm 
backpacking in the mountains I'd love to have a PDA-Cell Phone-GPS-Web 
Ready-MP3 Player-Camera that has a handy weather radio built in... Heck, 
maybe I'll buy two complimentary gizmos before everything is integrated 
if they're light enough.
