World Clock messed up

I'm in Hong Kong. At 23:30 local time on Dec 31 '07 world clock showed Sydney (Australia) as having 01:30 2007/12/31, correct time but wrong date as Australia is already in 2008!

So, now it is 00:40 in Hong Kong, New Year 2008 - World Clock shows Australia correctly, but all locations west of Hong Kong that are still in 2007 already show 2008/01/01!!!!!

What a heck?!!!

I have the same problem with my ipod touch v 1.1.2 and local time set to Spain.

Another bug is that don't shows the date using my regional format (dd-mm-yy). Shows the date in yy-mm-dd. I try with the iCal, and it shows me the dates correctly (using the regional settings).

I have confirmed in my iPod Touch is also displaying this same behavior. The post below confirms that this bug exists in the iPhone as well.

Yup. 50 minutes until midnight here in New Mexico and it's 06:10 07/12/31 in Reykjavik!? I don't think so. I've never seen a device so screwed up at keeping time. The Touches have been this way since they came out. I don't even think they are correct twice day. 🙂

Happy New Year!
