Meecast was released awhile ago for the Nokia N9.  Though the phone has been out for a short while, Meecast has been in development for longer.

About the author

Arie

I'm a Nokia Enthusiast. I've been involved with Nokia since the N95 days. I have been modding Symbian/Maemo/Meego-Harmattan phones since 2007. My first phone was the N95, how I loved that mistaken flagship of Nokia, what a great piece of technology. Then I moved onto the E66-NAM, it was a small quick phone, but not really memorable. Then came the Samsung I8510 (still symbian) That's where my modding and flashing bug started. I probably flashed that phone over 100 times, I was known as Deroo and was a moderator on the I8510 forums. Then came the N97. I wasn't a fan of that phone. It lasted over a month with me. Then back to the I8510. My next phone was an N900. That's when the modding bug really hit me. I had done so much with Maemo that I was certain that I knew how to deal with it. I ended up moving on for the N8 and it's 12mp camera. Up next was the E7, I had that phone for a month and sold it for next to nothing, it wasn't a bad phone, it just wasn't great either. Now I'm back to the N8 and it's running a custom firmware version of Symbian Belle, I currently only use it as a MP3 player in the gym now. The next step is the N9 and all of my experiences and journey's will be documented on this site. I also have an N950. Contact me at arie@everythingn9.com or on twitter @everythingn9. I reply to all tweets and emails myself. I don't have a secretary, yet!

    Hello team!
    Fisrtable, congratulations! MeeCast its awesome and let the other option, Accuweather, just eating the dust.
    I just miss the feature that makes the icon placed in the homescreen transparent, like the same of the lock screen.
    I have a beautiful wallpaper, but Meecast put a black square around the icon.
    Is there any expect date to have it transparent?
    Obrigado!
