Most apps that use the date or time use both because 21:03 is not as 
specific as 21:03 05/12/06 The former is the exact minute of the 
day of any day, any month, any year, but the later is the exact 
minute of the day on a specific day, month and year. There is a 
more technically correct way to say this. I will leave that to 
someone else.
