Another Raging Idiot bright idea... (ConceptPhone) part5

Many of us are aware of the Radar Map provided by WeatherPanel which can be displayed on the Today screen.... I'd like to build upon that idea - the idea is to have a picture on the Today screen which is pulled from a webpage, and have it update in the same manner as the Radar map updated in WeatherPanel.
IDEALLY, there would be a number of possibilities to display the picture(s) on the Today screen.
1. Ability to cover the entire background screen with the linked picture.
2. Ability to see any number of pictures at the same time on the screen.
3. Ability to set update frequency/schedule of picture(s).


Concept:
Could have just one Radar Map picture as background image.
and/or
Could have multiple smaller pictures which update from the traffic cams... such as can be found from sites such as GeorgiaNavigator.
So then you can see the weather as it's predicted on the background radar map, and you see the actual weather (and traffic) as its displayed in the traffic cams.

Other functional web page images could be the Mosquito forecasts, or pollen, or allergy forecasts...or simply just other types of radar maps.... or any charts, graphs, or webcams that can be linked to on the internet.

I like the idea. I'd even try to write the program, but I can just imagine that the battery drain just pulling updates to this would be drastic. Also, for those of us still in a 1x area, we'd be missing calls constantly as this thing updates. Am I wrong? If WeatherPanel can do it, then maybe this could be accomplished.
