+Time Flip
+=============
+
+Description
+------------
+
+Time Flip is a beautiful widget style web-app - drawing an analogue-style flip clock, not unlike that found on HTC phones.
+
+Due to recent API changes, and lack of support from the original author (and I mean this in the most light-hearted way possible) I have taken the responsibility to revise the already wonderful app, and have planed out several new features for it. I want to let everyone know that I use this app on a daily basis and I would hate to see it go down due to lack of support.
+
+Many thanks to all you die hard Time Flip fans.

+
+Update information
+------------
+
+Installing this now will upgrade you to TimeFlip v2 (with flip animations) when it's released.
+
+Time Flip is a beautiful widget style web-app - drawing an analogue-style flip clock, not unlike that found on HTC phones.
+
+This initial version was built in one hour immediately after the launch of the Chrome Web Store by TN2D Web Design.
+
+Follow http://twitter.com/neobiscuit/ for updates - and to share suggestions.
+
+We appreciate the feedback in comments, they'll help us create the next version and squash those pesky bugs.
+
+
+What to know before hand (and before commenting)
+------------
+This is what it is; it isn't a calendar, a weather application, a stop watch or an alarm clock. It has a sole purpose of being a nicely designed clock. Future updates may include extra functionality - but that's not what the app is meant to be right now.
+
+Above all - enjoy the app for what it is and let us know what you think it should be in future...
