just wondering if anyone thinks with the 2.1 update coming it might give us droid owners and nexus one ppl a similar animated weather wallpaper option like on the hd2..just a thought..would like to hear what people think
So I guess HTC has a copyright on animated weather? Interesting...
The issued a cease and desist to Beautiful Widgets for having animated weather widgets. The dev had to go through a lengthy review process before bringing the current one to market.
HTC does not have a patent on animated widgets or wall papers. Beautiful Widgets was forced to change because they looked identical. Anyone one else can create animated weather widgets if it is technically possible.
As for the original question... There are already new animated wallpapers on the market place. It is not a stretch to think that animated wallpapers for weather will soon appear. Even if the functionality is not quite built in, it is not much more difficult than having multiple animated wallpapers available and having an app to change them based on a certain condition.

Absolutely, unequivocally, undoubtedly NO! Animated weather is a part of Sense UI created by HTC and is NOT native to anything on Android.
Search "live wallpaper" . There are two freebies (a Matrix one and a Duck Hunt one). There are a few paid ones too.Okay, I've searched EVERY possible word in the marketplace and I still can't find the animated wallpapers that people have made! What are you guys searching to find them? I want to download them so I will have them all ready for when 2.1 comes out!

I beg to differ. Obviously it couldn't be made to look like the Sense, but there is no way at all that HTC can lay claim to any and every weather wallpaper which undoubtedly will come out. There wouldn't be legal grounds for it.
I believe weather wallpaper will be one of the first types of animated wallpaper we see being released.
I cannot wait for the live wallpapers for a matrix wallpaper(so cool this is already on market) or even some implementation of a weather wallpaper...2.1 is going to be gnarley
