JUST to get the thread back on track () :

I too have been thinking about a full screen clock app. In the past two weeks I've been at two different funerals (not the 10 minute pop in/out, the 3 + hours a day for 3 days funeral). I brought my tablet, carefully concealed in my left suit inner-pocket (I brought earphones as well, but decided it to be too risky to use them ). I used the built in Clock applet (on the desktop), and would quietly/carefully consult it every 5 minutes.

Just an idea for such a clock, I think it would be cool if it was a nice glossy/flashy iPhone like (I don't have an iPhone, but something that you would expect to find on one) clock, Analog preferred, but Digital cool as well. Something that a quick glance would make it easy to read, and could still lead to a conversation if your caught ():

Wow what was that in your pocket? *whip out tablet* Yeah, it's my cool Internet Tablet ;-)

what was that in your pocket *whip out tablet* Oh, I was just checking the time off of this small built-in desktop app. Wanna see! *guy walks away*

I thought about building such an app myself, did all the research, what SDK I need to d/l and install, how and what language... But I don't think I would have the time to actually code it, seeing that school starts in a couple weeks.

Some quick googling turned up something along the lines of what I was thinking:

iPhone digital:


Nice glossy analog:
