Anyone know of an app that will run on the LD that will allow me to sync the internal clock with an Atomic Clock Wirelessly?
The only app I know of is Worldmate and that obviously does heaps more which is no use to me so it makes it a little bloated for my use.
Thanks

TimeCopy installs on your Palm and on your desktop PC as a conduit. If your desktop is ntp synced to atomic time, then every time you hotsync, your Palm will get updated. I think WinXP keeps in sync automatically.

It'll report on how accurate your Palm is as well over time.
My old Palm Vx was accurate to about 1s every 20 hrs. My LD seems accurate to about 1s every 30 hrs.
The Palm OS doesn't allow the time to be set to a greater precision than 1s anyway, so having an app tweak the clock with every hotsync is good enough for me.

I'm a TimeCopy user too and agree with what Tom has written. :)

Thanks Guys, I was after something that would work wirelessly though, I don't want to have to hotsync to do it. I already have apps like Pilot Install that will sync the pc with the palm. I don't hotsync that often though.

Steerpike999,
I use both Timecopy, when I am able to hotsync with my laptop, and a freeware app, netClock ( http://www.freewarepalm.com/clock/netclock.shtml ) which just about does what you requested in the first place: it syncs the Palm clock with the time of one of several atomic clocks servers in the world (you can choose to add you favorite one...), all wirelessly.
Hope this helped ;) ,
