| Despite being out of production for nearly a decade, the O2 Joggler is still a useful & capable device that was probably a little too expensive for what it did when it launched in the early 2000s. However, being well-made and with good components, it means there's still quite an active hacking community around the devices, mainly centred on the [[https://www.jogglerwiki.com/forum/ | Jogglerwiki site]]; there are plenty of resources there for tinkering with the operating system, and many owners have adapted them as media players. | Despite being out of production for nearly a decade, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O2_Joggler | O2 Joggler]] is still a useful & capable device that was probably a little too expensive for what it did when it launched in the early 2000s.

| It occurred to me that the elegant [[http://www.clearskyinstitute.com/ham/HamClock/ | Hamclock app]] by Elwood Downey, WB0OEW, could probably run well on the device, and with a bit of persuasion, it does. The advantage of using the Joggler is that you instantly have a neat, self-contained unit that combines a smart case & touchscreen in one. | It occurred to me that the elegant [[http://www.clearskyinstitute.com/ham/HamClock/ | Hamclock app]] by Elwood Downey, WB0OEW, could probably run well on the device, and with a bit of persuasion, it does.

| 05/08/2023: Complete package now available on the [[https://www.jogglerwiki.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5188 | Joggler Wiki]] - Pete, who tested my build earlier (see below) has now compiled the whole package onto a downloadable image for Jogglers. Now yo can just download this image onto a memory stick, plug it into a Joggler and have HamClock working in minutes. It's a fantastic piece of work, so many thanks to Pete for putting this on the Wiki. | 05/08/2023: Complete package now available on the [[https://www.jogglerwiki.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5188 | Joggler Wiki]] - Pete, who tested my build earlier (see below) has now compiled the whole package onto a downloadable image for Jogglers.

| I posted the links to this page on the [[https://www.jogglerwiki.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5116 | Joggler Wiki]], and a contributor, Pete, has got the clock running on his Joggler using the instructions, so it's good to know this is working for others. | I posted the links to this page on the [[https://www.jogglerwiki.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5116 | Joggler Wiki]], and a contributor, Pete, has got the clock running on his Joggler using the instructions, so it's good to know this is working for others. |
