Weather Smiles update adds Windows Phone 8 support.

Remember Weather Smiles? It's my favorite weather app because it lets me view two locations on a live tile and displays 5 day forecast on the back tile. The update is for both Windows Phone 7.5 and Windows Phone 8  and uses the latter's capability to resize tiles. Based on the change log, it seems that Weather Smiles takes advantage of the medium tile to now display 5 day forecast for two locations. Windows Phone 8 owners will love it. Check out the change log for more details.

New in V1.6.0:
- Added new setting to select between 1, 3 and 6 hour interval to update in background task. trial users interval is 6 hours only.
- New for Windows Phone 8 the medium tile size is taken advantage of for bigger font and non-scaled up tiled. Bigger, bolder an beautiful.
- New for Windows Phone 8, back tile now displays 5 day forecast for both locations thanks to larger medium tile.
- Small bug fixes, minor app interface aesthetic updates.
