While it may not be a big seller in the Midwest, Motorola has released an application for its two-way pagers that provides information about approaching hurricanes. Hurricane Tracker was developed for Motorola's PageWriter 2000 and PageWriter 2000X two-way pagers. It provides updates of approaching hurricanes, tropical storms and tropical depressions. The application provides a map that tracks where storms are expected to strike. Users send a query via the Internet to Motorola's database and, besides the map, data containing current position, forecast path and wind speed are sent to the device.
Users can sign up for a free trial at at the company's Web site .
