Chronos vs. PilotClock (continued)
PilotClock alarms
The PilotClock application also includes an alarm feature, which allows you to specify up to nine separate alarms. Chronos does not include an alarm feature. See Figure G for a screenshot of PilotClock's alarm screen
FIGURE G
PilotClock includes an alarm feature.
PilotClock's alarm feature is actually quite nice. It allows you to set up to nine separate alarms, each one with its own settings. These settings include alarm duration, repeat times, volume, on/off status and whether or not this alarm is to be triggered based on the home or world time. As with most alarm applications on the PalmPilot, this feature will wake up the PalmPilot if it is switched off, sounding the specified alarm.
Conclusion
Both of these applications are very good, and would fulfill most people's needs for a general stopwatch, timer, and clock. PilotClock takes this one step further by providing a general alarm application in addition to the ones that both applications have. I would personally recommend Chronos for most people, as it basically includes the same features as PilotClock, for $13. However, If you need the added alarm capabilities or if you're concerned about the auto-off options in Chronos, PilotClock is a great application.
