Well, for starters, it looks like you're using getOffset() wrong. From the docs (http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/ TimeZone.html#getOffset(long)), the parameter is "the date in milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT". So unless you WANT the TZ offset as of Jan 1, 1970, you shouldn't be passing it a zero. Try passing it the current timestamp and see what you get. As for why it's giving you GMT-10? <shrug /> Perhaps Alaska's time zone was GMT-10 in 1970. That's not inconsistent with the state's latitude; the western Aleutians use GMT-10 in the winter, as does Hawaii year-round.
