Also, will it eat battery faster with multiple cities/cameras in the database?

Great program though...Thanks storyr
There's no update button in the pop-up windows (not supported there), but there is on the Today screen plugin. So, if you go to the Today screen, hit the "start" button, the screen changes to the dash board. The refresh is the round arrow thingy. An alternative is to hit the settings button, which drops a menu with two update options on it.

One thing I noticed about WeatherPanel is that it may have issues (such as running constantly and causing the phone to get hot) if ActiveSync is configured with an Exchange server with "as items arrive" - in combination with low-service areas.

I changed my email schedule to "every 5 minutes", and I haven't had the problem since - nor do I have battery issues.
