What's the time Mr Wolf? It's SpbTime 1.0!

Posted by Anthony Caruana in "SOFTWARE" @ 01:30 PM


Get Ready. Get Set. Go!
As well as telling you the time, Spb Time acts as a very handy stopwatch, complete with lap timer and the ability to upload the data to your PC. I can see this feature taking the Pocket PC out of the office and out to the track!


Figure 5: The stopwatch and lap timer is a great tool for the athletically minded.

Complementing the stopwatch functions are five count-down and five count-up times that can be started and stopped independently. Handy when everyone wants their eggs cooked for different amount of time!


Figure 6: The count-down and count-up timers are a great help to interval trainers and egg cookers alike!

It can't be that time already!
Like any decent clock, Spb Time has an alarm feature. Accessed by either the Options menu or directly on the clock face you can either set one-off or recurring alarms. However, if your device doesn't have correctly working alarms then this will not cure that problem


Figure 7: Even though Spb Time has a recurring alarm function, if your device has a problem with alarms, this won't cure that issue.


Figure 8: Setting one-off alarms is a snap by tapping on the alarm icon on the clock face.


Figure 9: When an alarm goes off, you can either dismiss or snooze it.

Conclusions
Spb Time 1.0 is a very useful utility. As well as providing a myriad of different chronometric tools, it has a neat screen saver function that makes you Pocket PC into an elegant desk clock with a skinnable interface. The global time functions are great for travellers and the various timers and stopwatches make this more useful than Batman's utility belt.
