Forcast channel is available right now... 1 day earlier than announced

Though the official word was that the Forcast Channel would be going live December 20th, it would seem that let it slip out a day early. This morning my Wii was glowing bluw, and when turned it on I see a note letting me know I could preform a system update to start checking the weather via the forcast channel.

So there you have it. Turn on those Wii's and have another place to check the weather. Personally there's lots of things I'd rather see than a weather center, but I appreciate the added functionality. Plus it's free, so that's always nice.

The 3D globe spinning is sharp, so points for that. Do you readers out there think this is something you'll use, or more of a novelty?

You know, I wish the little thumbnail icon would alternate between the Forecast Channel logo and the current temp in your location. That way you wouldn't have to go all the way into the channel, you could just glance as you're getting ready to play Zelda or whatever.

But to be more concise, I do think it's a bit of a novelty and I probably won't use it that much. I'm really just waiting for an RSS Channel to be announced.

It's an interesting enough function, I think. Probably won't be used much, but I still don't know why I get so giddy looking at it.
