This is something I’ve been wanting for a while. I don’t really know why, but I’ve always thought that the N800 should have the ability to put a large fullscreen clock on the display. I have this weird thing about knowing what time it is. Anyways….I’d asked for it over at InternetTabletTalk.com a while back, and there wasn’t really any applications that did the job.

However, user ‘twaelti’ has updated his mClock application to run on the N800 Internet Tablet, and it does a superb job! It’s still in beta v.30, but it works great on my tablet, as you can see.

You can get the install file here, or head on over to the InternetTabletTalk.com forums to join the conversation. You can also visit his blog to see the roadmap of where he wants to go with this application, and I’m excited.

As you can see, currently the background is a map of the globe with the night/day shadow overlaid. You can either have the clock really big over the front, or smaller along the bottom of the screen. If you press the D-pad up, it turns on ‘power-waste’ mode, which keeps the screen on constantly. There’s a red battery indicator that will show up to alert you which mode you’re in. Exiting the app is as easy as pressing the ‘back’ button on your tablet.
