Mobile Wunderground's free mobile service works well on almost all  
modern cell phones (that is the last two years), "smart" or not. You  
can bookmark both the marine and "land" forecasts for areas of  
interest. As Bob Smith mentioned, the "land" forecast is nice because  
it includes a radar graphic, which most of the mid-to-better phones  
will display.

For those who venture off shore on a regular basis, perhaps Mike  
Maurice could refresh us on getting buoy reports sent to any phone  
via text message. My personal cruising doesn't require that sort of  
granularity; the NOAA forecast for off shore waters is fine for my  
particular purposes.

Anchored off Watch Hill RI, not needing any technology to tell me  
that it is foggy this morning, nor which way the wind is blowing!
