SPOT wish list, part 1

In no particular order, a few SPOT features I’d like to see:

  • Make weather for my custom cities appear in the “glance” channel.
  • When I set up a travel date, make my home city weather appear in the “my cities” page on the weather channel. After all, MSN knows where my normal home city is.
  • Add the ability to send IMs to the watch from the Mac MSN Messenger client. Several folks I know at MS have made this same suggestion to both the SPOT and Mac Messenger teams, but it’s apparently rather a lot of work, so I don’t know if this is going to happen.
  • Provide better management of downloaded watch faces (lots of people have asked for this)
  • Allow me to get alerts for flight delays on the watch. I’d pay extra for this.
  • Offer a premium newswire service, with e.g. business news from Dow Jones. I’d pay extra for this, provided that the latency was still acceptable.

If you’ve got specific features you’d like to see added or change, list them in the comments, and I’ll forward it on to the SPOT team.
