Time travel With Android Phone And AndroidGlobalTime!
Apps For Android, Sample Applications for the Android platform has released a new app for you to test the Andoid (Google Phone) emulator and application building. AndroidGlobalTime is a 3D world clock for Android platform. But behind the nice and glowing 3D graphics, it is an illustrative example of how to utilize the OpenGL ES APIs in your Android applications.
