Update 2011.10.19: Version 2.1 is now available! iPhone/iPod Touch support has been added!
Lightning Talk Timer for iOS 2.1: Presentation Timer for iPhone and iPad
Update 2011.10.5: Version 2.0 is waiting for review. Overhauled interface and added alarm sound.
Update 2011.4.4: Version 1.1 has been uploaded for Apple to review. Landscape mode and device rotation support has been added. Should be in store within 7-10 days.
A free iPad app “Lightning Talk Timer” has been released.
This app displays remaining minutes (or seconds if under 1 min.) on your iPad for “lightning talk” type short presentations. The iPad can be located near presenter, or, since size of the number displayed is large enough, time keeper can hold the iPad for presenter to see during presentation from some distance. This can also be used for full-length presentations.
Default presentation length is lightning-talk-standard 5 min. with “hurry-up time” for last 30 seconds. On “hurry-up” background color becomes bright red.
Total presentation time and “hurry-up time” are configurable.

Great app! Please add support for change of orientation.
Love it!

A new version 1.1 with landscape mode has been uploaded! It should come as soon as Apple gives it a go–usually takes 7-10 days.
Please can we have an iPhone version?

Thanks! I thought no one really used the app, but knowing there are some I will make it better in some time. iPhone, too!
