Depends, I doubt it though. Real time updates to app icons would consume more data. If they did do this then I would hope that it would be a setting you can turn on/off.
I'm not sure how this works on other phones, but the only problem I see with live update (in regards to the weather icon) is it going to adapt to my current location?
I travel a lot for my job, which means that I'm always in different city's, so in order for a live update to be useful to me, it would have to constantly be using my GPS to track my location, and I see this consuming a lot data and battery, no thanks.
I don't see how, if your notifications are set to push then the info is already there.
Specifically for the weather app, if you wanted real time data, it would need to constantly refresh data in order to achieve this. Depending on the frequency of the refresh, it would increase the amount of data you used.

Well on my black berry I have a weather app that updates every 15 mins and I could set it to be less or more but 15 min fine.Depends, I doubt it though. Real time updates to app icons would consume more data. If they did do this then I would hope that it would be a setting you can turn on/off.

My wife has an AT&T Tilt2 (made by HTC) and this is exactly what it does and the battery on her phone lasts fine. Now, she does not use it nearly as heavily as my iPhone, especially for games or web, but it will last 3 times longer than my iPhone also. Its certainyl possible to do it in a way that economizes on battery usage.
