Re: My new project: iGetwind.com

I thought i saw an iphone App announcement the other day? Hi beebad, I'm starting to think about it very seriously given how popular igetwind is becoming this season. For now the webapp is light, fast and easy to access in safari I'm wondering if there is a specific reason you would prefer an app ?...
