Remember old grandfather clocks that chime every quarter of an hour and at the turn of each hour? For those who want a similar principle in their cellphones, they can always download up the Haptic Clock software for Java-enabled phones. It tells you the time via a series of vibrations – all you need to do is press the 5 key. Long vibrations denote the number of hours of the current time on a 12-hour clock, while the shorter vibrations denote the number of minutes divided by 5. For example, 8 vibrations means 40 minutes past the hour, while a couple of vibrations is a mere 10 minutes. Best of all is, this software is free, making it an essential download for those who have long ditched their watch in favor of a cellphone.
