Since this thing is NOT an application, just a series of web pages that you go to nothing is actually downloaded on your device so the “Download Protection” fee is a total rip-off and just a way for Omega One to make a few more bucks off the people who buy this. Since this is just a web application none of the information is cached. Therefore, if you leave your browser and want to go back you need to reload all the data. This could take a long time on a non 3G connection and if you do not have any access to the Internet then forget it. Omega One states this is a good program for iPhone users. However, the iPhone comes with an embedded application for both stocks and weather (which does cache the data) the the UI is far superior to that of 1-togo. In my opinion $30 for the first year and $20 for every year beyond that is way too much given all the other options (e.g., Google, Yahoo, etc.) that are out there and that are free. If you do purchase this be sure and unselect the “Download Protection” fee that Omega One tries to get out of you.
