Travel Alarm

It occurs to me that given the kick-stand, our little device would make a great travel alarm. Ideally, this would be a program that would continuously display the time in landscape using a dimly lit background that wouldn't caste too much light. I'm assuming the phone would be plugged into the charger so the battery doesn't drain. You could set the alarm using the built-in alarm clock software. The volume rocker on the side (which is facing up when the phone is resting on its kick-stand) could be used as a snooze button. I'm not sure if there is already a program available that could do this, and if not if there is someone who has the capability of writing such a program (I don't).
