The issue with the Boom, and apparently the other new models, is that they're no more reliable as alarm clocks than the original slimp3.
Despite all the marketing and promises, when the network is down the new units will tell time, but the alarms will only play for either 30 or 60 seconds and stop. If they were indeed the "best alarm clock ever" they would be completely dependable, and would have additional settings for fall back alarms and such. As they are they are less reliable than traditional alarm clock. If you choose an internet stream to wake you up, you have two points of failure with no recourse. Given the premium paid for these devices its ridiculous that this charade has gone on for so long. Now, I have a boom and the issue only has affected me once, but its pathetic that Logitech considers this a low priority issue when it's a promise they've been making for almost two years now. If you told someone you paid more than $100 for an alarm clock (more than $200 in my case) which wasn't completely reliable, they would laugh in your face. I love the Squeezecenter system, but its ridiculous that if I really need to get up the morning I'm better off relying on a 15 year old Sony Dream Machine over a system I bought less than a year ago for more than ten times the price! -- sander ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68252 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
