Because one of it's features is an alarm clock. It's as simple as that. And an alarm clock should not fail for two reasons: 1) We set an alarm because we -have- to get up 2) Because an alarm clock is such a simple technical device to get right. I can use my Nokia mobile phone as an alarm clock. This is not it's primary function, but it works every time without fail. And I can use a 1 alarm clock which also never fails. But if a 150-250 device which claims to also be an alarm clock fails then there is a serious problem. Now, I have to say very clearly here that I have not had any problems with my Boom working as an alarm clock. But then as it's in my kitchen I hardly use this feature. But I am contemplating buying the Radio for my bedside and I would like to use this as my alarm clock. But if it is not realiable then what is the use? -- Justme ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=369 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68252
