Nokia Aplication review – Hour Power

Description: talking clock

Summary: If you all don’t know the n96 has a built in talking clock all you have to do is hold the right menu button and ask you phone “what time is it” and after a few seconds of confirming  it will tell you the time, great. Is that ideal, well no its not. I’m sure many people would love to know the time with out having to wait for confirmation and I’m sure many people don’t want to have to talk to there phone to know the time.  Probably the best talking clock would have to be one that will tell you the time instantly with the touch of a button. So here’s Hour Power its a very simple application that will just tell you the time without any fuss or delay. HourPower uses the text to speech just like the built in one so the voice and language can be changed to whatever you want.

Overall: Thinking that this is completely useless is the wrong attitude to have towards it, imagine putting this application as one of your shortcuts one press and you know the time. Also the application doesnt run until you turn it on but once that’s done you will here the time and it will exit. It is also a little more complicated that what I first thought in the sence that the first time you select it will give you options about the time such as turning it into a 24/12 hour clock but after that any time you select the application it will just tell you the time.

HourPower is a free application and is very small so there’s no harm in trying

you can download it free here
