This week we’ve pushed out Audio Clock 2.1, and then 2.2 (when we realised that 2.1 had a bit of a major defect). This fixes issues on phones with limited resources that caused audio chimes to not finish sounding.

Audio Clock 2.0 is released
In release 2.0 we’ve extended Audio Clock to support multiple chime sounds. In addition to Big Ben we’ve added a cuckoo clock and will be adding other clocks in the future.
One other minor change is that when selecting “play sample announcement” you will always hear the previous on-the-hour chime, allowing you to better test/demonstrate your selected announcement type.
Barring defects – which we aim to fix as soon as we can – we will be putting out fresh releases of Audio Clock every two to four weeks, with new features and/or chimes.

The small company view on Android development
Developing software for Android can be viewed as risky and potentially unrewarding for the individual developer. There are over 100,000 (correction – 250,000) applications available in the Android Market, so simply getting noticed can be a problem. Without being able to throw a large bucket of cash at development and marketing, how can we succeed?

Audio Clock – now up to 1.2
Not wanting to rest on our laurels we’ve put two new versions of Audio Clock out in the last couple of days. The first corrects the URL on a link to this site. The second adds a new option: to sound chimes only when you are using a bluetooth or wired headset.
Other features are planned for release over the coming weeks.

Audio Clock 1.0 is released
Surfsoft Consulting is pleased to announce that it has released its first Android application, Audio Clock. Audio Clock turns your Android device into a chiming (or speaking) clock. Just like a wall clock it will announce the time every quarter hour – either as Big Ben or using Android’s built in text-to-speech facility. For more details have a look at the application’s product page.
