Pulsation is customizable too. Countdown timers. These timers are used to notify you when certain amount of time elapses. Countdown timers can have two time periods (second period starts after first period of time is complete). You can completely customize sound and vibro notifications for the timer (in the same way as for alarm). Settings of each countdown timer can be saved as a template for future use. <br /><br />2 multi-stage timers let you count time of some action and compare results of two attempts. You can use timer to fix intermediate results (for example when you run 5 laps, you can track time of each lap)."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20050104-ChronoSSP_ani.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />The Smartphone version of the Chronos alarm is currently in Beta so you can expect some changes before it gets released. Right now, doing alarms on the phone is too awkward and painful. This might just get me to stop using my Pocket PC for alarms. :D
