As you talk of Duct Tape ... Apple was that company that gave free Bumpers to those with iPhone4 connectivity problems as far as I remember ;) So this is our nice cool consumer world I guess. Guess we see Radio Alarm packs (i.e. DuctTape kits) soon :D -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Box

While I don't like Apple at all, I fail to imagine they will be incapable of fixing this bug in more than a year. Of course, if the iPhone was built by Logitech, they (and the fanboys) would claim that the alarm clock was not important anyway, as it's a phone after all. Also you could stick a che

I belong to those that - with the help of a local server - has 99,5% reliable alarms. I'm waking up every day for work to a radio stream I configured. Only in 1% of cases I hear the fallback alarm. As I'm one of those who has deep insights into the alarm code I also trust it's fallback mechanism

Actually, I bought a Radio so it can sit on my desk at work and play music, rather than for an alarm clock. I didn't want the larger size of the Boom, and I'm not playing it real loud, so Stereo isn't an issue. Plus I like to see the album art as well, and the weather screensaver (add-on applet) w

Sadly must agree with the consensus here - but the stupidity of it it makes me weep. The radio is so clearly marketed as a bedside radio/alarm and it could have had mass market appeal - had it not failed so abysmally at this one basic function. I know it's an awesome network music player, and I'd
