[Palm WebOS] WxRad Animated Radar Viewer, v0.1.0(07/23)

This little app shows animated NexRad radar images. This update fixes a number of nagging issues and adds some polish - it has gone from functional to fantastic!

Changelog:

• Stop animating after 1 minute of inactivity, tap to resume
• Use a still image for the minimized pages
• Improve webkit cache management
• Make scroll positions persistent
• Update to icon provided by phillipah (may need to reboot/delete & reinstall to see it)

TODO:

• Find a way to support shrink/zoom pinch gestures.
  
  • Waiting for Palm to support animated .gifs with the ImageView widget
  • Alternatively load the individual images and cycle them myself
• Use location services to pick/center the radar intelligently
• Find a sleep event to hook instead of the timeout kludges being used now
• Add WunderMap Interactive Radar & Weather Stations : Weather Underground support
• Possibly add lightning strike data - don't know of any free data source
• Add support for individual radar sites instead of the mashups
  
  There have been many other great suggestions that I haven't listed here.
