For me the current Flip Clock is 4 out of 5 star application, the new version will be then 5 star application :-)

My use scenario if following. I am using N800 which have no other use at the moment except being TV guide and news reader time to time.
1st usage as standard bed side clock
- Screen is always lit when on charger and it is on charger all the time
- Touch screen is locked to prevent accidental screen changes. For me the main clock view is the most important.
- I am not using alarm at the moment since it is too complicated
- I prefer to use standard flip view or heavily dimmed digital view
- I do like the date shown

What I would like to see
+ Easier alarm usage, for me one alarm time set with rotating or sliding time selection would be optimal
+ On standard clock view when there is no alarm the view shouldn't be changed if screen is accidental touched. I prefer those bottom of screen active controls
+ Possibility to choose if snooze is used or not (I never use it)
+ Possibility to choose alarm sound
+ Automatic screen dimming based on time of date and position (I am living up north and length of the day varies depending of time of the year)
+ All other cool features you might implement (Web radio alarm, RRS ticker, daily alarms, ...)

but the simple flip clock is still the most valuable functionality. I prefer simplicity over the complex functionality.

And yes, since there seems to be new device coming out in near future this kind of applications which take the "old and obsolete" tablets in use are more than welcome. I never manage to get Flip Clock run properly on my old 770 and it is now just lying in top drawer without any usage
