+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 However, I wonder if an API for the RTC
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 is planed that takes care of multiple wake up times? Until now, I have to
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 take care if another application set the time already...

+AD4 +AD4 RTC is probably going to stay like that, since it's a low level interface. 
+AD4 The 
+AD4 +AD4 big picture is that the (higher level) PIM service would handle this, e.g. 
+AD4 +AD4 once it knows about all your appointments, it can always compute the next 
+AD4 +AD4 alarm that is due and program the RTC accordingly.

+AD4 Nope, has to be done by some middleware. There might be RTC-alarms from other 
+AD4 sources than just PIM. (e.g. GPS, bat management etc pp)
+AD4 I suggest patching cron +ACY at, as it seems the most natural interface for 
+AD4 RTC-alarm.

The handling of multiple alarms is already implemented as:
org.freesmartphone.Time.Alarm

(http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p+AD0-specs.git+ADs-a+AD0-blob+AF8-plain+ADs-f+AD0-html/org.freesmartphone.Time.Alarm.html+ADs-hb+AD0-HEAD)

I don't know of anything using that interface, though :/
