It’s About Time – Volume 2 [iPhone, iPad]

Once again we are back with the collection of most wonderful and creative clocks now available in the AppStore. They are simple to understand, not too hard to program and fun to play with. Most probably more “useful” once iPhone OS4 is out (background process), nevetheless always beautiful to play with. My favorite, this time around, would be Analog Digital Clock and Alice Clock. Which one is your favorite?
