MyWeather has announced the release of Huafeng Weather for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. Huafeng is the only officially authorized weather services provider in China. Huafeng Weather has recently gained special notoriety for its inclusion in Apple's TV commercial campaign There's An App for That, now airing in Beijing, Shanghai and other select cities in China.
