ya know... Im not so impressed. It has no applications thingy no so thats a downer; all you get is weather and movies... but even with that, I think Id rather just look the stuff up on the web. I guess it really depends what other apps will be available

It's still too early.With all the creative people out there I am sure that this thing can really take off and become very very useful. I have just downloaded the beta and hope to have a look at it tonight.

Hehe, this central thing is nice.

What I like about it: Unlike WeatherBug (which is a program I love), Central actually has weather information for Elkton, Earleville, Cecilton, and Middletown in Maryland. WeatherBug would only have Baltimore, that was annoying.

On topic though, I can't wait to get my hands on the SDK, I'd love to expand on my server-side knowledge and create apps like these =)

they said it's two weeks till the central SDK will be released!

I am aware of that ahmed, they use it for the annoying ads, but I don't give about the spyware they install, because I would rather deal with that then pay for the software ;) ;)

However, since Central covers all of the areas I need I may get rid of WeatherBug now.
