Here is an example of what Android widgets can do:
I find the widgets to be really useful.
That's HTC's TouchSense software isn't it?
It just shows how limited iOS is. If you want updated weather display - buy Android.
It has nothing to do with the OS and everything to do with a conscious choice by Apple to not support that feature in that particular app for whatever reason.
I don't like the built in weather app anyway, I have a shortcut to a mobile weather site. Takes seconds to load. Widgets, dynamic icons, whatever you want to call them will come eventually but let's imagine 1) the data load and 2) the battery drain.

As you know, the temperature is just one example. The full story here is that iPhone screen is static whereas Android widgets give it life. There are tons of useful widgets out there: stock quotes, clocks, agendas etc. And whilst iPhone 4 users are enthusiastically sharing their newly found freedom to customize the screens a little (see this thread) it's really just a gimmick compared to what Android allows you to do. I am sure Steve Jobs will eventually come around on allowing the widgets in iOS but nobody knows how long it will take.

Why does a question about the iPhone on a iPhone forum have to turn into a Android is better statement?
It does for me. Weatherbug says 73, bank sign says 73, iPhone weather app: 73.
What's the problem again homies?

True but it only displays it for a short time before the battery dies.If you want updated weather display - buy Android.
