date time conversion

[WayneDavidDaley]

I have a date returned from a feed in the format
The 01 Jul 2008 15:00:00 +0100 as a string. I'm assuming this is a
date string which is GMT plus one hour. I would like to convert this
to the date and time for the time zone that the ursers iPod or iphone
is set to. I've looked at NSDateformatter and NSCalendarDate but I'm
Not sure how to get the devices current time zone setting or how to
Do the conversion. Does anyone know of or have a sample code
Snippet that does something like this?

Thanks,
Wayne

Today I also had a need to suddenly determine the time zone the iPhone was in. I have been digging through the documentation but so far have had no luck. Anyone else have any ideas on this?

I think this will tell you what time zone the user has set as their preference...not sure if you want to know the timezone the phone is in or what the user has as a preference. I'm still trying to figure out how to convert a date string from one time zone into a date time string for another timezone though.

NSTimeZone *App_defaultTimeZone;
App_defaultTimeZone = [[NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone] retain];
