I don’t know about you guys but I like to know what the Weather will be. That’s exactly what the guys at BellShare are doing with their application BerryWeather 2.1 now available to the public. BerryWeather is currently looking for feedback to improve their application. This version is way faster than 2.0 and some significant bugs were fixed. For those already having 2.0 installed, the 2.1 version is working in currently working with a new storage format. They ask for you to uninstall 2.0 to install 2.1 for everything to work properly.

If you are interested in downloading the latest version, head over to the their BerryWeather Forums page to find all the links. Some key features in the new version are the following:

• Complete rework of the core. BerryWeather will now fully close the UI when sent to background. The homescreen wallpaper and icon will keep updating. Unloading the UI should save a lot of memory and avoid many potential memory leaks.

• Major rework of internal data storage. Only basic location data will be persisted across reboots. Other data is automatically reloaded approx 60s after reboot or when BerryWeather UI is opened

• Using new server protocol to improve update speeds and minimze CPU load

• Changed forecast/advisory update settings. New option ‘With Forecats’ for advisory will update advisories whenever forecasts are updated, ‘Never’ will never update advisories

• Added data+settings backup to memory card

• Added support for setting the icon size on homescreen walllpaper

• Added support for blacking out the settings screen (on by default)

• Added support for selecting whether to show radar/webcam links in internal viewer or browser (allows adding mp3/video/hrml links)

• Fixed lag on image browser for background image selection

• Fixed lag issues on BlackBerry Tour (and other devices)

• Fixed several potential memory leaks

• Fixed errors on first time built-in map loading
