PipClock - Nuclear Wasteland Survival App

Although it pains me greatly to say nice things about iPhones or iOS in general, the developer of PipClock assures me he's also working on an Android version, so I'm going to make an exception here.

Currently available on iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, PipClock is billed as "the Extraordinary Device especially designed for all your Nuclear Devastated World needs!" and I must admit it does look really cool. 

Here's more from the developer:

Surviving in the Post-Apocalyptic scorched wastelands, scavenging for food and guns under the radioactive fallout is not an easy job, is it?

Radioactive clouds, poisonous fog and toxic rain are just few of the safety hazards that you, Wastelander, need to be aware of, every single day of your life in this devastated world.

Fortunately, exploring an abandoned and half-destroyed fallout shelter, you found an old - but still functional (thanks to its compact Nuclear Engine) Extraordinary Electronic Device: the PipClock ☢!

The PipClock ☢, manufactured by PXL Industries just few months before the nuclear holocaust, is the Best Portable Device for the newbie wandering explorer or the survivalist expert, to survive in the wasteland.

Some of its built-in features:

✔ HD graphics for iPhone 4 RetinaDisplay
✔ Retro product design in steel with a cathode ray tube monochrome display
✔ Reliable Post-Atomic Clock and Calendar
✔ GPS powered real-time weather hazards detector (toxic rain, UV radiation, poisonous fog and many other) ¹
✔ Real-time Thermometer and Barometer ¹
✔ Nearby landmarks detector (or what's left of them) ¹
✔ Dashboard mode - All the important data in one screen
✔ Hidden Retractable Compartment, easily accessed sliding one of the two metal parts on the device
✔ Analog Magnetic Compass (accessible on the hidden compartment) ²
✔ Geiger Counter (accessible on the hidden compartment)
✔ Self Protection Reinforced Hull (shake the device to Protect the PipClock from a Nuclear Explosion)
✔ Nuclear powered Flashlight with three different lightning presets (Broken Neon, Sleep mode, Emergency)
✔ Sunset - Sunrise Forecast with countdown to sunset and sunrise ¹
✔ Status of the day graph - check out the percentage of sunlight left or how long you have to wait until the light illuminates the wasteland ¹
✔ Moon phase calculator
✔ Arpanet connection to receive important messages broadcasted by the Federal Government from its underground shelter ¹
✔ Help and Settings to configure your device

¹ Requires GPS and Network Connection
² Requires a iPhone 4, 3GS or iPad

So if you haven't upgraded your iDevice to Android yet, check out PipClock.com for more information or fire up your app store and give PipClock a try.  It looks to be worth 99 cents for the coolness factor alone.
