The Daylight Saving Time, or DST for short, is a major pain in everybody’s butt: it’s annoying and requires you to update your clocks twice a year. Smartphones and PDA’s have been able to do this themselves for some time – if it weren’t for these pesky rule changes which happen every year.
Fortunately, Microsoft is well aware of the problem. They have just updated their Daylight Saving Time patch:
Updated August 2009 Daylight Saving Time (DST) or Summer Time, the shifting of clocks by one hour, is not observed uniformly around the world. Some countries and territories follow a set of standard rules for the start and end dates of Daylight Saving Time, and others follow their own calendars.
The August 2009 update for Windows phones running Windows Mobile 5.0, Windows Mobile 6.0,
Windows Mobile 6.1, and Windows Mobile 6.5 is a cumulative rollup that includes all the changes released in earlier updates. For more information about such changes, consult Microsoft Knowledge Base article 958729, “A December 2008 cumulative daylight saving time (DST) update is available for Windows Mobile-based devices.”…
