IMHO. The internet media player part works fine, and is a very clever and enjoyable device.
The alarm clearly has problems, due entirely to the design, which relies on networks and servers to provide a simple alarm function. I think that a lot of the venting here is simply frustration on the part of those familiar with good software design, who actually respect the device, but are frustrated knowing how much better the device could be with a fix to the alarm design. (Having managed software engineers, I know how crazy poor design can make them!) The obvious, and I suspect not difficult, fix is to move the full alarm functionality to the radio itself, so it works even if the network or server are unavailable. If this were done, the worst case would be the unavailability of a specific music or radio alarm due to network or server issues, resulting is a simple alarm tune or tone played from the radio. -- davenva ------------------------------------------------------------------------ davenva's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34191 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82804 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
