I know. Its unfortunate they are making a mistake of shutting down
the palm.net network. It will take allot of effort for me to
downgrade to a rechargeable battery device. I like alkalines, and I
hate rechargeables.

What a tragedy!

Anyone know of any low-cost alternatives to cockpit WX?

I've seen posts on other groups that the new cell phones have Internet
access, which is where all the data is located "free". But nexrad is
one of the most valuable and internet data may not be totally current
or sufficiently detailed to figure out where the weather is in
relation to where you are. Bigger screens help, such as the new Palm
Treo cell/pda but a $600 cell phone is hardly a low cost option.
