[time-nuts] Handy iPhone app

[Armand Sperduti]

I'm on the digest, so excuse me if this is redundant.
I just checked my AT&T HTC Pure (a Windows Mobile phone). It's time matches
my Trimble to within a second.

Curious if you have any comparison you can make with a non-Apple phone?

Seems to me that the problem points there, but we need some non-iPhone 
comparisons in the far (timing-wise) locales to see if there is a clear 
pattern.

Also, I don't have an iPhone. Is there any other way than this Emerald 
thing to measure the clock?
