Klaxon is an alarm clock, with added specific functionality. It supports multiple alarms with snoozing. What makes this application special though is the ability to interact with the application, through motion or light. The user has the options to shake the phone, flip it over or turn it towards light; Klaxon has integrated feature for customization of interactivity. Users are able to associate commands (snooze, turn off) to gestures while the device feeds back by default after successful command (vibrate once for Snooze mode, vibrate twice if alarm is turned off).

Example: Wake up alarm at 6:00 AM > Flip over to snooze 10 minutes > Snooze alarm at 6:10 AM > Shake to turn alarm off!

We know the Omnia supports screen rotation using the accelerometer for most applications, now the Touch Diamond gets the same feature thanks to this little freeware from s-k-tools.com. This hack does NOT work with the Touch Pro as the Touch Pro will base most of its screen rotation on the sliding keyboard instead. For the Diamond, you can use the screen rotation feature on most applications, if not all, which is initiated by turning your device and activating the motion sensors.

It even allows to exclude applications (like Opera Mobile which doesn’t need GSEN) or vice versa, to select which applications should be used. In addition it has a nice add-on feature which lets you turn the device in standby mode by turning the device to screen.
