Scratch Resistant WeatherBug For The BlackBerry Storm

As you can see from the video above, it is not only the BlackBerry Storm proving that it is scratch resistant, so is the application running on it! All kidding aside, it is great to see that the WeatherBug application for the BlackBerry Storm is being used so early on, despite it first making its appearance on the the CrackBerry forums BEFORE even went live officially in the BlackBerry Application Center.

So assuming you Storm users opt to get the application from the Application Center on the Storm itself, you will find the following release information of interest. Keep in mind that the initial release date was December 1st. So if you have not updated yet, a lot has changed.
