Free Binary Clock Application For The Geek In You

Very cool. Wish it was an option in the default clock app so I could see this come up when I plug the charger in instead of an analog or digital clock.

0100100100100000001111000011001100100000010000100110100101101110011000010111001001111001

WELL I JUST MUST BE REALLY DUMB CAUSE I HAVE NO FRIGGEN CLUE HOW TO READ THIS CLOCK

Yeah..this application is so awesome, a very good way to showing off ur nerdiness :p . If only it can replace the default clock application.

This is binary coded decimal...

I already feel smarter...going to go show this off to some of my friends at church..haha

BCD would have a binary number to represent each decimal digit. HH:MM:SS = 6 digits, 4 bits each.

Instead, this clock uses straight binary numbers: hours (5 bits + 'PM'), minutes (6 bits), and seconds (6 bits) with the MSB on the left (except for hours, where the '32' bit is replaced by the 'PM' indicator).

I have to say, with the direct binary number format, the illegibly tiny font, the backwards layout of the bits, and the reassignment of the hours MSB to a 'PM' indicator, this app appears to have been designed to maximize difficulty of use. But then, I think that's the point.

If this is really for computer Geeks, shouldn't it have a 24 hour mode and not use AM and PM? Still really cool though...

yes to bob, I asked Phrenck to make a binary clock for the storm. I wasnt specific on the type. Taking into account Phrenck made it one day, its great. I Would like to see it HH:MM:SS, with larger fonts though as well.

this is very very cool! I agree that it would be amazing as the default clock but I would also like to see it in a 24 hr set

Very cool. Any chance of the "binaryClock by Phrehnck" just showing when the menu key is pushed to show the help numbers. Paid version?

Those who understand binary and those who don't.

sweet!

anyone else noticed a serious battery drain with this app?

Or is my mind playing tricks on me :|

I love it! If only this could be an optional clock display under the BlackBerry clock settings!

Any of you who are used to listening to music on you blackberry and using the Volume up/down buttons to cycle through your music my find this out by accident like I did. Hit the Volume up/down button to switch from AM/PM and Military time.

it is currently listed at $2.99

Correct me if I am wrong but is this app free or is there only a trial version?

Thanks
