iWindsurf has created a new desktop application for getting windspeed. No longer do you have to log into the iWindsurf website. This little application will launch on startup and show you the windspeed at your favorite locations. It runs on Adobe AIR technology, which is a subset of Adobe Flash technology. I guess AIR lets you run a Flash application outside of the browser. It becomes a standalone application.
I like the idea, but the app is a little tough to use. It's not an intuitive process to add your favorites. You need to search for the locations first by clicking on the Search button on top. Then you type in your location in the search field.
Click on the new location, then in the next screen dedicated to that location, click on that star button on the upper left. That will add the location to your favorites.
Click on the favorites button and the location should be there.
I was having some problems with the screen freezing, but hopefully iWindsurf will deal with this. I posted a forum link to iWIndsurf about it. I'm curious about other people's experiences.

Ian, thanks for taking the time to review our application and give us input. I wish you would have been in the beta group. We haven't had any reports of the screen freezing but if you can let us know how you reproduce this issue it would be helpful. Also, an iPhone app is in the works.
