all;
If you don't like clocks and things, on't read this message although
if you do other things with your IPhone, it might help to read through
this for some tips.
This is going to be a bit long so please bear with me. I've been
preparing for it for a while and am really excited to bring it to you.
The time piece on the Iphone simply called "clock" is much more than a
clock. It has a stopwatch, a timer and a world clock in it as well as
an amazing time piece for time keeping and all the alarms you could
ever want with nice functionality and it is all 100 percent accessible
with voiceover.
I didn't mess with the real time clock because I didn't want to change
the time but all the other things encorporate its functionality so we
loose nothing without it.
The alarm is nice. you can pick whether or not it will repeat and
when. if you say don't repeat, it asks you for the time to alarm and
gives you a myriad of sounds to choose from which is also duplicated
in ringtones. Your options are repeat on one of any of 7 days, and
any of the days you want it to repeat can be chosen simultaniously so
you can have it alarm monday through friday or every day what you have
to do though is "select" each day you want it to alarm and leave the
ones you don't want it to alarm unselected.
Picking the time is easy, you have three fields, you use the two
sliders for the hours and minutes and the choices for am/pm you just
tap the one you want.
The stopwatch works well. you have to quiry the counter, but it is
easy to start and stop and totally accessible.
The timer is cool, I didn't see a way to get it to go beyond an hour
but you can set it for ny number of minutes up to the hour via a slider.
The world clock is engenious in that you can ad as many as you want
and the search for a city field is really nice, just type in a couple
of characters and pick/select the city from the drop down. if it's
not there, just try a different combination of letters, some times,
one is sufficient for instance, I chos l and got london in the list
which is what I wanted. The view is nice too, all your clocks are
arranged side by side so you can compare the times they display easily.
All in all, this is one of the most enjoyable timepieces I've ever
used and I'll be having more fun with it.
