Some things you may not need on your handset

I get quite a few press releases on mobile innovations and announcements -- I got one from AccuWeather.com today that made me chuckle -- silently.

Now you can read -- on your handset -- the blogs of meteorologists -- because when Perez Hilton fails to entertain, the next best thing is your favorite meteorologist's blog.

You can also get 15-day weather forecasts -- because the reliability of weather forecasts is so great that you can stretch out that prediction to any length of time, and it will have the same failure rate.

AccuWeather.com is, however, lauching some neat functions -- hour by hour forecasts and weather news. And it will continue to tell you how the weather will affect asthma sufferers and the like, all of which is pretty cool.

So a few of these launches may be a bit off base, but I'm not throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
