Hardware manufacturers these days seem to want to introduce changes in their software to the masses using app stores instead of going through firmware updates with mobile carriers. Case in point, we did bring you word earlier this week concerning the HTC default keyboard that can be downloaded via the Google Play Store, and now it seems as though HTC has also taken the same route with its HTC Clock app.

HTC’s effort to add its unique Sense apps to the Google Play Store continues! HTC recently added the “HTC Clock” app to Google Play. The app includes standard clock features like World Clock, Alarm, Stopwatch and Timer. Like other HTC apps, the HTC Clock is likely only compatible with HTC hardware. Interestingly, though, it says that the app isn’t compatible with an HTC One (M7) that I’ve got on hand. It’s unclear why this is the case. As I mentioned yesterday when HTC added its Sense Input keyboard to the Play Store, the release of the standalone HTC Clock app means that HTC will be able to issue updates to the app whenever it likes rather than waiting around for a full-on device update. And while an update for a clock app may not sound like the most exciting thing ever, it’s still nice to know that HTC can push out an update to HTC Clock whenever it wants to. If you want to check out the HTC Clock app and see if it’s compatible with your device, you can hit up Google Play using the link below.
