SplashData, a developer of virtual wallet applications for Palm OS handhelds, has released SplashClock, an application that automatically runs when your handheld is charging in its cradle and displays a semi-transparent analog or digital clock with a slideshow of personal images in the background.

The company said the clock’s appearance can be customized, as follows:

--Choose between a digital or analog clock display and whether or not to show the date
--Customize the clock formatting, including size, location, color and transparency level
--Supports standard (160x160), Hi-Res (320x320), and Hi-Res+ (320x480) displays
--Choose which images to view in the Slideshow and the delay between images
--Displays JPEG images and SplashPhoto PDB images
--Show slides in random order
--Auto-run when handheld is idle and charging in cradle

Like the its SplashPhoto Palm OS photo application, SplashData said SplashClock has been designed to take advantage of the high-resolution screen and fast ARM processor found in new Palm OS5 devices, including the recently introduced Palm Tungsten T and Sony Clie NX70. SplashClock is available for $5.00 and runs on all color handhelds running Palm OS 3.5 or later.
