When you request a forecast you also pick your planned activity from a list of Golf, Walking, Surfing, Sailing, Football and a few more. Supposedly the results are customized based on your proposed activity. I suspect that this feature isn&#8217;t quite finished yet. The only difference I could see is that with sailing and surfing the results include wave and swell data. All activities get the temperature, wind and general conditions (Sunny, Rain, etc.) and links to a map showing nearby conditions, satellite images\u00a0 and a synoptic weather map.<\/p>\n<p>The other feature that&#8217;s unique to AskMoby is hour by hour forecasts for any hour, day or night, in the next 48 hours.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a social aspect to AskMoby \u00a0Users can create a blog and participate in the forums. There aren&#8217;t many blogs yet and the mobile forums seem to be down at the moment, but give it time. \u00a0This would be a good home for a meteorology blog, I&#8217;d think. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the mobile site, AskMoby has a slick Ajaxy PC version and an embeddable Widget for your Blog or MySpace page.<\/p>\n<p>AskMoby currently covers European locations only.
