Comment:

 It's great that we have clock activities available for kids to use now.
 It can no longer be said they are without any options for telling time at
 all.

 I can still see the need, for some, to have a clock which doesn't have the
 overhead of finding/launching an activity.  For this, I still propose
 adding a small analog clock "device" to the devices edge of the Frame,
 which includes a digital readout with the date (and even a calendar?) in
 it's palette.  If someone has interest in developing this, I'd be happy to
 whip up a quick visual mockup for what I'd expect it to look like.

 Of note, since the clock-as-part-of-Sugar has been controversial, I'll put
 this forward as a perfect example of why I'd prefer some re-factoring of
 the device implementation to support modules!
