To facilitate time checking, the Observatory launches a "Palm Clock" service.  Using a handset or PDA that supports Flash Lite 2.0, you may now easily check the accurate time, anytime anywhere.

The palm clock acquires through the Internet the Hong Kong Standard Time that is traceable to the Observatory's atomic clock, and displays it in both analog and digital clock forms.  You may enter the palm clock web page through the Observatory's PDA website, or the following link direct: http://pda.hko.gov.hk/clocke.htm.

Here is a sample of the palm clock:
